That would explain it.  As far as I know, Exif doesn't support
specifying lens projection, so if Hugin doens't know the lens, it
assumes rectilinear.  You need to select the lens type manually, even
if you have Exif data.

The crop factor would be 2x (MFT).

Maybe.  I was thinking that 3 would make it easier to find control
points.  First I need to get it to work at all.

What I have found is that the strange fleur-de-lis artefacts don't
occur if I tell Hugin that the lens is 8 mm.  I might even be able to
get some useful control points, but of course the pano wouldn't close.
