When I start Motion, be it by rebooting the Pi on which it's running or
by /service motion restart/, it starts and runs under the *root*
userid.? Shouldn't it automatically switch to the *motion* userid at
some point?

I have just tested this and it Motion is running under the user 'motion'
on a default install of raspbian stretch as well as when upgraded to 4.2
via the release deb's.
You can see the chuid in the /etc/init.d/motion file.

I'm running version 4.1.1+git20181002-062a328 under Ubuntu on a
Raspberry Pi.? I can see in //etc/init.d/motion/ where the chuid should
be /motion/:
??????? log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC" "$NAME"
??????? if start-stop-daemon --start --oknodo --exec $DAEMON -b --chuid
motion ; then
??????????? log_end_msg 0
??????? else
??????????? log_end_msg 1
??????????? RET=1
??????? fi
but when I look at the process it's definitely root:
> ps aux|grep motion
root????? 1190? 110? 9.0 481608 85376 ???????? Sl?? 10:46 608:32 motion
What else can I look for?

Have you checked whether it is starting using upstart?? Although a
motion.service file is included with the source, Motion has not
transitioned to that officially because it is not supported on 14.04
