Thank you! I just re-confirmed that I had followed this step of the instructions, and I have even repeated the step several times throughout my investigations. Unfortunately, the situation remains unchanged.

I do think it is fascinating that the same behavior occurs when the git command is omitted. What is it about running the git command that fixes the problem -- what does it actually change? I wonder whether I might have the same underlying issue but have arrived at it in a different way.
