Spoke (wrote) too soon. The artifact is there, in the screen of the new install.
After the intitial install and restart, it wasn't there, while the system was running the intitial image from sda1. I then powered down and booted into sdb1, and, of course, the artifact was still present (well, why wouldn't it be? I hadn't changed anything.). I did some stuff there, since that's where my registered e-mail and 'net accounts are. Then I restarted again, booting up in sda1. And the artifact was there. BTW, the linux generics for sda1 are the version of 5.3 that was being loaded with the system installs yesterday. The sdb1 linux image set is still 5.5... The artifact as displayed when sda1 is up seems to be slightly different from that of sdb1, but that may just be perceptual, due to the way the two desktops are populated.
