The XS works in mysterious ways... ;-)

OK -- that sounds reasonable.

Very odd -- the scripts / configuration that execute are the same
regardless of whether it is from cold boot or network restart.

Trying to think what changed, I recall that when I looked in the Neighborhood view both access points that I had used were visible, and the netbook was associated with the old one (Linksys).  So I disconnected from it and then connected to the D-Link one.

Associating to the right AP is a good way to succeed ;-) -- keeping
this in mind, your other Sugar clients should register on the first
go.
