Thanks very much indeed for your help, James.

If anyone has time to change XSESSION="Xsession" and log on to their
machine as a new user I would be grateful to hear what results they
get. I can't help wondering if this is a little-tested option and
can't help hoping it's broken globally.
Did so - changed DISPLAYMANAGER="xdm" and XSESSION="Xsession", and I
get the same login scenario that you described - ugly (yup, that's xdm
all right), proceeds to a Session Menu dialog with Load Session,
Delete Session, and Default/Fail Safe as options. I select
Default/Fail Safe, and I then have to place the xsm window and then an
xterm window, and everything seems as I would expect from twm.
A few questions:
1. Once you are logged in, if you left or right-click on the gray
background, do any options come up?
Nope, none at all. Nothing happens. I have no way at all of knowing
the mouse buttons are working - except, of course, that they work
when I click on the window with the Default/Fail Safe options.
2. What is the output of emerge -pv twm xsm xterm
$ emerge -pv twm xsm xterm
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

I think I remerged twm around the time I originally posted, but will
have another go at recompiling all of these now.
3. Any output from revdep-rebuild -p -v?
$ revdep-rebuild -p -v
