Hm it would be better if this were mentioned somewhere...

Well even now if I download the -4.5.zip files manually and expand to
the ~/.local/share/ thing, the same problem exists, but now my network
problem seems to have gotten right so I could download from within the
app itself.

Of course, the app did save to the .local/share location, and I
kdiff3-ed the trees of the -4.5.zip download versus this, and all I
found was a couple of extra lines in the within-app-downloaded dgml
file:

<storageLayout maximumTileLevel="1"/>
<blending name="CloudsBlending" />

and a few missing .directory files. I am not sure how this difference
makes it so that the within-app-downloaded version works whereas the
other does not...
