One aspect of the mystery is now solved.  Although Windows Explorer claims that 
there is no file called "Frederika*.*" in C:/Windows/Fonts, an elevated command 
prompt and a simple DIR reveals that the files (there were two) exist, and at 
the same elevated command prompt they can be (and have been) deleted.  The font 
has been re-installed, the test file now compiles correctly, and the two 
missing GREEK NUMBER signs appear as intended.


However :

1) The compilation [1, attached] takes 20 seconds to compile /every time/, 
almost all of that apparently being concerned with the font loading
2) The log file [2, attached] contains cryptic references to (e.g.,)

-> K^^A/Windows/fonts/Frederika2016.otf

        and

-> b^^N/Windows/fonts/pala.ttf


where I do not understand the meaning of K^^A and b^^N.


Given that, during my earlier test, I was able to see XeTeX re-populate 
C:\TeX\Live\2016\texmf-var\fonts\cache when I emptied it by hand, it is not 
clear to me why it cannot now re-create the cache(s) once and once only and 
then allow my compilation to proceed without a further need to re-create the 
caches on subsequent runs.  Could a clue to the problem lie in the name of the 
only one of the cache files to have been modified today :

> d031bbba323fd9e5b47e0ee5a0353f11-x86.cache-7.NEW
The first line of this file contains the string :

The suggestion by Akira-san resolves the problem :

Following this change, the second and subsequent compilations proceed at the 
anticipated speed.
