Aha! I was relying on the INPUT!

It's the second decade of the 21st century. If you don't have a working
patch, you probably have a weird old system. (Unless you know otherwise?
Seriously, which reasonably up-to-date system doesn't have a working patch?)

Not that it matters much, considering that I have above established that

Apologies if I'm being stupid, but I believe you've demonstrated the
opposite: that I can't get what I want either with or without
multislot.sty, and therefore I have to patch t1.etx. (I was assuming what I
saw in the .vpl was being translated to the .vf, but you've shown it
wasn't.)
