The failing version (which refused even to start) was from the
google-chrome repo. When I downloaded another copy directly from Google
I got a different result (though both rpms show the same version
number). Now the browser seems to work, though I get these console
messages:

$ google-chrome

However I see that this version is 64-bit (the repo version was 32-bit).
The repo URL is baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64,
IOW it looks like someone put the 32-bit version in place of the 64-bit
one.

That's probably the root cause. Sorry for wasting everyone's time.
