SOLVED!
The clue was:
,----
| (add-hook HOOK FUNCTION &optional APPEND LOCAL)
|
| Add to the value of HOOK the function FUNCTION.
|
|[...]
|
| HOOK should be a symbol, and FUNCTION may be any valid function. If
| HOOK is void, it is first set to nil. If HOOK's value is a single
| function, it is changed to a list of functions.
`----
So how can this not work?
Well, with point on the character just before "outline-minor...",
C-u C-x =
tells me that I was *not* looking at an apostrophe!!!
,----
| position: 2519 of 66947 (4%), column: 17

So, add-hook was trying to reference a variable called
"‘outline-minor-mode-hook"
If I replace the "left single quotation marks" in that line with
"apostrophes", outline-minor-mode seems to work.
:-)
Maybe a similar edit of the source would protect others like me who
copy and paste what they see rather than typing it in longhand.
