An update for any lurkers:
1) Further research found a lot of reports of problems akin to this,
with the solution generally being the use of Firefox, rather than other
browsers, to view the streams on the remote systems. Chrome may also
work, though I have not tested this, but using Firefox does works for me.
2) This seems to be 'a feature rather than a bug'. Enabling the writing
of images and videos to a USB drive plugged in to and mounted on my Pi
allowed me to confirm that motion was being properly detected.
