In fact, it was something else.  For the benefit of the archive [1]:

As Mark Carey points out, the 'missing' doc directory mentioned in
the app notes is in fact in /usr/share/doc/pacakages/rivendell.
[Thanks, Mark]

I used the 'complete' sample rd.conf file - apparently the problem
was something to do with MySQL user info, not the [Identity] section.
Setting the [MySQL] options to something I knew would work with my
DB server made the problem go away.

Now all I need to do is make actual noise come out of the app through
ALSA/JACK :-)

[btw: does the currently-available package - 0.8.4 - contain that code?]

[1]  Fred et al - if you have a mbox-format archive of the lists anywhere,
     I'm prepared to set up a self-updating web archive here via a hidden
     Mailman gateway.  I'm sure there's a value in a complete archive...
