Actually, rsync is not the transport in this scenario, SSH is. The
Windows system doesn't need to have rsync installed. I'm using rsync
because I want to sync many files within the directory tree (not shown
in my example, which was simplified to just foo.txt to show the error).

Dude!! If you are right, then this line of the manual page is quite
misleading!! :
"Note that rsync must be installed on both the source and
destination machines."
Hm, yes. I don't know what I was thinking. I guess I've gotten used to
thinking that I'll make a given transfer using rsync-over-SSH instead of the
actual rsync daemon, and somehow in my mind I turned that into "don't need
rsync on both ends, just SSH!" And I do about 80% of my transfers in
UNIX-only environments where rsync is always already installed; not having
to manually install it makes it a little less obvious that it's being used
on the target.
Anyway, duh. Sorry for the trouble.
