I may have narrowed down the problem to this:
13 working installations: rpcbind.service enabled
14 broken installations: rpcbind.service static
Turns out finding the solution was stymied by bad 'man systemctl' (216-10.fc22), which says
"enable NAME...
Enable one or more unit files or unit file instances, as specified on the command line...."
That's invalid WRT rpcbind. In order to enable rpcbind I found the following necessary:
systemctl add-wants multi-user.target rpcbind
The question remains how and why 13 of 26 (I miscounted in prior thread post) installations were set to static instead of enabled in the first place.
