So _that_'s what that bit was all about!  Thanks for the pointer.

That might well work.  But the bit -G turns on also turns _on_ some
tests, and modifies others; I don't know whether it would get upset at
the Pi Pico's quasi-filesystem.  I #if 0ed the 0x55 0xaa test and it
then mounted - but crashed the kernel upon trying to unmount after the
device reset (which involved disappearing from USB).

I may investigate more someday, but probably not soon, since, as I
think I said upthread, I've found a more effective workaround (ignore
the filesystem entirely).
