Glad that fancy piece of paper left me with some deductive skills and a little feeling for error messages. :) Two out of four likely candidates do, in fact, have a parallel port. I can load whatever...

Try them. Once there's a bootloader on the chip three's no need to ever look back.

Also, I tried AVRISP Mk II, but it gave the error "could not find usb" or somesuch - I assume because that programmer does not operate over a simple COM port.

Those messages mean to me that you're not even connecting to the processor. Either your baud rate is wrong or your port is wrong. Or your programmer is wrong.

For anyone else in my situation, the baud rate was 57600 and programmer should be arduino, not stk500 for the sanguinololu. It may have had the bootloader after all, but we'll never know now. :-)

Fair enough. At least now the next person who goes looking will have this as a reference. I guess this begs the question of how hard it would be to edit the bootloader to change the baud rate?...

Uhm, there are no "global constants" ... Baud rate is hardcoded in the bootloader. The ones coming with Gen7 Arduino IDE Support are hardcoded to 115200 baud. It's also a number relative to the CPU...
