It is possible I typoed it somehow, as I filed the report on another
machine and eyeballed the name...

No, that was probably lost when I powered it down. If the dump was
stored on the to-be-installed-filesystem somewhere, there might be a
chance to recover it?
I had assumed when it said it uploaded the installer dump that it had
done so successfully... (maybe a way to more easily confirm success or
failure of the dump upload might be worth implementing?)

Ah well, I will try again with that installer and/or the "latest"
installer ... and if I still have similar issues will report back
... and will be more determined to capture any relevent dump files!
If I feel adventurous, I might even try on the new laptop itself. :)
Thanks for the quick response!
live well,
