Well, nobody else has piped in, so I guess I will, for what it's worth.
My pkginfo looks the same as yours. My logs don't show any errors, thank God.
(I did a "cat" on it, too. No errors.)
I'm not sure how helpful it is to you. The bug report you mentioned was for
more complex configurations. Mine is a a simple, default configuration.
Apparently, from what others have said on this list, you have to change the
root password before enabling the time slider -- at least for the gui, anyway,
as I understand.
I had already done that. Then I went into the gui app, and enabled Time Slider
with the defaults.
I hope this helps.
