While generating a minimal test case I discovered that the feature works exactly as advertised, no funky NOP's needed. So, my problem was (naturally) my own clumsiness.
I don't know why (yet) but I am guessing that by resetting the CLKPR in my interrupt handler I ran a-foul of a classic failure: my state variable tracking the CPU speed was not declared volatile and would get out of phase every so often (one hint was the regularity that the speed change failed, about once every four control cycles...) The speed change works reliably after I pulled the reset out of the handler and put everything into the main loop.
