An update: the attributes aren't showing because of a known bug in the IDE
(or the debugger plug-in. The advised workaround is "view the memory for
that variable". Great. So twenty years ago I was determining bit flags by
upwrapping UInt's on a scrap of paper and in this expensive, modern,
professional tool I'm... unwrapping Uint's on a scrap of paper. Feh.
On a scale that measured bugs on "Importance to user" and "Difficulty of
fixing" this one looks like an easily fixed problem that can really mess
users up. Now I'm not even sure that it's actually displaying the correct
values.

More update: This also fails under the OS3.3 debug ROM so it looks like an
old bug that OS3.5 no longer tolerates.
I'll just keep plugging away...
