Looks like most of my problems are solved. I investigated further and found some old residue that had still been left around somehow.
Besides running 'dpkg -r fish' I also ran 'dpkg --purge fish' and 'dpkg --purge fishfish'. I don't know how I got the idea of purging fishfish, it just occurred to me and indeed dpkg seems to have found (and purged) something. Then I deleted (renamed) ~/.config/fish entirely and reinstalled the latest fish with 'make install'. All the problems vanished. But I missed my config.fish file, brought it back and some of the problems were back with it. Then I realized my config.fish file had lines referencing /usr/share/fish which is old news. I realized all those lines were already present in /usr/local/share/fish/config.fish so I deleted them and now everything works fine. Almost everything. That Ctrl+z keybinding still doesn't work. But the Delete keybinding is working fine.
