This worked immediately after input ... but the edits didn't make it 
past yesterday's kernel upgrade ... despite the installation of DKMS. 
When I ran the above commands again, the problem was corrected, but I 
noticed that the first thing the process did when instructed to install 
VBoxLinuxAdditions was to remove the DKMS-created files (by name) and 
replace them with new ones.  Am I seeing evidence of a service that 
doesn't work and can be repaired, a service that needs to be removed, or 
something else -- like simply misinterpreting the output in Terminal?
