Solved this - nmtui needs to be run as root; my script which invoked the
program didn't consider that. Changing it to run as sudo gives me an
opportunity to enter my password, and then successfully setup the wifi
interface details.
Another option is to add nmtui to the list of programs that are setuid.
That way, any user on your system could configure wifi, which may be
more ergonomic.

This option did work as expected. The only additional point for anyone
else coming across this post with the same issue: remember to add the
#:use-module (gnu system setuid)
so the setuid record is known.
Thanks Leo!
