Just sayin'
Curiouser and curiouser. I checked the size of my shogun2.dll to see if it's the same size as the one steam downloaded. It's 23.6MB. If I run the verification now I get a 23.6MB file downloaded. That's a clear match. But the file which fixed my problems was definitely reported as being 28MB. So either shogun2.dll has changed in size since, or it downloaded a different file, or it two files and lied about getting one, or it reported the size incorrectly. I'd love to know what happened; the difference to my game before and after that file is like night and day.

Shogun II: when you're not playing with its samurai, it's playing with your mind.
