It seems to find CPs just fine, judging by inspection of points, and given 
that the optimization works great (when translation is not optimized)... 
I've used cpfind to find good points in images much darker than these, too, 
and it seemed fine? (Also, these are 16bit tiffs, so there's possibly more 
room at the bottom of the range to work with, even if the camera doesn't 
really use all those bits.)

Doing some more googling, it seems that I was unwise to use translation 
optimization, as it's for cases where the tripod is really moved (e.g. 
capturing the nadir of a spherical 360 pano or other cases where the tripod 
is e.g. picked up and moved). I thought it was OK for small movements as 
well (e.g. non-calibrated non-pano-head tripod)... must have read that 
wrong somewhere.

This post <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/hugin-ptx/w1a4FlOiTbw> 
seems to talk about something similar, but it's from 2010 so I'm not sure I 
should pay much attention to it...

Thanks for the scripting/HDR tips. I haven't found an automatic HDR program 
that can match what one can do with manual blending (using luminosity 
masks), but I was planning to try letting hugin make the HDR attempt, and 
assuming it doesn't satisfy, was going to align/pano everything in hugin, 
export each HDR layer separately, and then blend in GIMP. Someday I will 
get around pano stuff on the command line. Now that I'm finally learning 
how to use hugin properly, though, I like it a lot. :-)
