Sorry.  I should have made it clear that the reason I tried 0.3.6 was
because I was stepping back to see which version worked.

That was the hint I needed.  RPM did report 0.7.8 (I triple checked) but
apparently I had somehow had old stuff sitting around.  I found
xpra-related libraries sitting around in python locations.  Once I nuked
those, a reinstallation worked (I'm now on 0.8.0).

So, obviously I must have installed 0.3.something in some nonstandard
way and screwed up my system.

Thanks for the help.  Much appreciated.
