Ha, ha. The moment you write it up, you find some answers. Have eliminated most of the problems with positioning by changing the attributes on the box into which the core-image is being inserted. Weirdly, if I add text inside the core-image element, then height and width are not necessary, I guess because the p element in there is forcing a width. But if I move the text outside the element (core-image empty), then it won't display unless I give it a width and height.
Sadly, it seems that the most painful part of Polymer, as with everything web, is the CSS. Sigh...
