I think I have that because there's a resume.conf in /etc/dracut.d.

Tried that and this time it did get the correct UUID in the boot
command line (verified from the grub menu). However the boot failed
with some 'not found' errors. I can't completely discount the
possibility of some errors in copying the original root to the new
drive, unlikely though that is. Or maybe there's some other config file
that needs editing.
I'm reaching a point where all this faffing around is no longer
worthwhile. I have full nightly backups so unless anyone has a better
idea I'm just going to do a fresh install and have done with it.
Once again, I appreciate everyone's efforts to help. This really should
be easier.
