Thanks for the helpful answers.

Two follow up questions which, if they can be answered, will save some time before I go testing random theories.

Is there a way to bump a database up a timeline version without specifying the exact timeline version of interest?  Apparently doing a rebase from a database which has incremented its own timeline from doing a recovery does at least this.

Is it possible to interpret the requested file and ignore the timeline digits and provide a file from some other timeline?  Or is the timeline mean more than just the file name?
