Mystery partially solved.

I checked the disk for errors.  There were none.

I have finally been able to change the file.  To do this, I moved the
file out of the blender tree entirely(!!)

Amazingly, what I saw was the *unchanged* (original) file.  I changed
the file outside the blender tree, then moved the file back into the
blender tree.  Now the change "took".

What I don't understand is where the new versions were stored!!!  This
may be some kind of deep Windows mystery, possibly abetted by Blenders
caching mechanisms.

Anyway, I can now add something to the blender signon, which means,
presumably, that I can patch any blender Python code.  Hooray.

Note that there was a longish delay on blender startup after the
change, but later startups went very quickly.
