No, it was broken before that. This was to test if front paging would work if the node was re-sectioned (it still didn't work).

So, the editing wasn't the issue: Corion has identified the root cause;
and, as Arunbear indicates, the editing occurred later.
I was aware that moving pages between sections had, in the past,
caused problems with both approval and front-paging operations
—
given the node was by a first-time poster, using the wrong section was certainly a possibility
—
however, I didn't know how to check this.
There was no indication in the thread that anyone had done this;
I also checked "Nodes to Consider" to see if a "move to section ..." was perhaps in progress (it wasn't).
Anyway, thanks to your "edit history" link,
I find I can just add ";displaytype=edithistory" to the query string to get this information.
This will be useful, not just in similar situations to this one,
but also when considering empty nodes: Edit (to restore content) or Reap (it's genuinely empty).
With that in mind, is this functionality available from, say, some Nodelet,
or do I need to manually edit the URL?

I wouldn't say the root cause is found.
Regarding "node history" check the "approval nodelet".
But better don't be too optimistic, imho it doesn't show much more than changes triggered from the approval nodelet.

Thanks for the speedy reply.
"I wouldn't say the root cause is found."
That's a fair enough comment.
I've <del>eted the word "root" from that sentence.
I seem to recall that, long ago, I did try that "node history" link on quite a few posts.
It always told me:
"This node has not been edited yet."
I just tried it again, on one of my nodes that I knew I had edited, and got the same result.
It doesn't look like it'll be much good when "considering empty nodes"
(as I suggested earlier).

I wonder why such an experienced monk would move such an obvious SoPW to Meditations, and then back again; all within the same minute.
For the side effects perhaps?
