OK, one more and I promise I’m done. I tried publishDate as promised earlier. No change in the anomalous behavior. What I further found is that my /about/_index.md file’s front matter date info is being ignored — Hugo is pulling it from the bogus file that I have to put in there! In fact, if I delete or comment out the bogus file’s date info, the Web page once again reverts to the “January 1, 0001” behavior. It pulls all the other content from the proper .md file just fine, just not the date info (date, publishDate, lastmod — whatever). Very, very strange.
