OK, I was (and am) too tired to think straight, but now I understand what is going on.  The XML metadata are /added by Adobe Acrobat/, when I use File / Reduce file size / For Acrobat 4 in order to bring the PDF version down to 1.3.  Which means (I am delighted to be able to report) that the following does indeed achieve what was/is intended :

% !TeX Program = XeTeX
% !TeX Root = For-JK.tex
% !TeX Project = An Oral History of Horsmonden
