No, I left off the "-rnetbsd-1-5" part in all cases, so that I
was trying to download a complete copy of -CURRENT, even when I had
an empty /usr/src. My understanding is that my problem stems from
the fact that doing even this doesn't pull down /usr/src/share, and
may miss some other things as well.

I'm pretty sure that I wasn't mixing 1.5 with -CURRENT.
