Unfortunately, I spoke too soon! I hadn't gone far enough back in my archive to detect "missing" files. Everything looked OK when I only viewed the thumbnails, but when I double-clicked on a thumbnail the thumbnail disappeared, and the image was consigned to the Missing folder. I had done some reorganisation of the location of files on my Ubuntu computer when I upgraded to 12.04 from 10.04 and incorporated a new hard disc, but didn't check that everything was working correctly in that environment. Back to the drawing board for me! Inevitably, as disc capacity becomes exhausted or failing discs are replaced, there will be a need for photo-archives to be moved around on the same computer, or shifted to new ones, and Shotwell needs to support this, My first thought on how this would look would be a Nautilus-like presentation of the filesystem, restricted to files "known to" Shotwell. Dragging-and-Dropping of folders or individual files could then be tracked by Shotwell, and the database adjusted accordingly.
