When I open a new document, type an equation, and export as PDF (cropped), I
expect to see a PDF file that has zero extra white space around the graphical
portion of the math. Instead, I see an entire page with the equation on the
first line. I.e., no cropping. What am I doing wrong?

When you say "entire page", do you mean a full page in both dimensions?
I just tried it, and I got a PDF with a full page (including page
number) in the vertical dimension but a width just barely enough to hold
the equation.
If you need cropping in both directions, I would suggest using the
"standalone" document class. If the equation is inline, that should be
sufficient. If the equation is display mode (centered on the page), you
can either (a) convert it to inline and switch to display mode for
subscripts and superscripts inside the inline equation (then export
normally, no cropping required), (b) leave the equation in display mode
and add the "preview" class option, then export normally, or (c) do (b)
but export cropped. Methods (a) and (c) should produce an equation with
minimal whitespace on any side; method (b) will (I think) crop
vertically but not horizontally.
