Based on Mateo's comments, I think these instructions need to be modified
to include a 3.5 item under "Use FaceGen Modeller...": Scale the
photographs
to be exactly 512x512.
After doing this, facegen works, and I can create a Jack.mesh on the island
with my face; however, I cannot change my own avatar's face because even
though I can launch the Avatar Generator and pick my .mesh and face (which
look fine in Avatar Generator), an "Export" yields the following in modrex:
[REXCLIENT]: Unhandled GenericMessage (rexappearance) { }
