We'll, I've found the answer to my problem.  Thank goodness for undocumented 
"features" in the AVS manuals: otherwise, debugging would be such a bore=;^).

On DEC 5000 ULTRIX (and maybe other machines too):
A coroutine module must operate synchronously (AVScorout_set_sync(1)) so 
that AVScorout_event_wait() will function properly with respect to timeout.
If the coroutine module is operating asynchronously, it will return 
immediately regardless of the timeout value (NULL or non-NULL).

GRRRR. (Release product, allow users to find bugs, announce upgrade program).
