On reboot, it went unconditionally to Windows 8.1. No signs of GRUB.
It seems I'm still missing something. I wonder what.
Kevin, is it worth cross-checking that the boot/BIOS is set up like this:

I have been looking into dual boot with 8.1 because I was thinking
about a new laptop, and most of the reports I have seen have mentioned
the effect that you see. Someone had suggested that W8.1 is rewriting
the boot loader back to its 'original' as a security measure (in case
it had been changed for bad purposes). Apparently, there is a remark
on MS support site about this behaviour, but I have not seen it. This
article might help:

When you do solve the problem, would you be able to post back
explaining what you had to do?
regards Ron
