One aspect of the mystery is now solved. Although Windows Explorer claims that there is no file called "Frederika*.*" in C:/Windows/Fonts, an elevated command prompt and a simple DIR reveals that the files (there were two) exist, and at the same elevated command prompt they can be (and have been) deleted. The font has been re-installed, the test file now compiles correctly, and the two missing GREEK NUMBER signs appear as intended.
However :
1) The compilation [1, attached] takes 20 seconds to compile /every time/, almost all of that apparently being concerned with the font loading
2) The log file [2, attached] contains cryptic references to (e.g.,)
-> K^^A/Windows/fonts/Frederika2016.otf
and
-> b^^N/Windows/fonts/pala.ttf
where I do not understand the meaning of K^^A and b^^N.
Given that, during my earlier test, I was able to see XeTeX re-populate C:\TeX\Live\2016\texmf-var\fonts\cache when I emptied it by hand, it is not clear to me why it cannot now re-create the cache(s) once and once only and then allow my compilation to proceed without a further need to re-create the caches on subsequent runs. Could a clue to the problem lie in the name of the only one of the cache files to have been modified today :
> d031bbba323fd9e5b47e0ee5a0353f11-x86.cache-7.NEW
The first line of this file contains the string :
> Version:1.0 StartHTML:0000000107 EndHTML:0000000598 StartFragment:0000000538 EndFragment:0000000562

The suggestion by Akira-san resolves the problem :

Following this change, the second and subsequent compilations proceed at the anticipated speed.
