My understanding was that the f dots are the vestiges of the two
lines in the letter "F"... is that not the case? Hence the C clef
and G clef wouldn't have them (being stylised "C"s and "G"s
respectively).
I've no authoritative source for this though.

I'm not sure, but you are probably right, I have seen G and F clefs
with dots, but not C clefs and I recall only one instance of G clefs.
Yet I use the dots because they make good logical sense and
facilitate precise handwriting. I'll have a look in the MGG and
inquire where is the next available old "new" Bach Ausgabe. I would
think that the use of the dots for the "french" clef may have had the
purpose of giving clarity to the graphics.
