and for a while it shows in the output of 'gsettings list-recursively org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser', but makes no difference to the appearance of the geany or mousepad "open" dialogue window, and eventually reverts to "path-bar" anyway.

I searched, and found this and ultimately this. The issue was closed by some bigwig who also made the incredibly arrogant comment "It is a private gtk setting, you don't really have any business tweaking it. It may disappear at any point." Once again, it makes me hate GTK3.
FWIW, Ctrl-L will activate & highlight the filename entry, but the same happens when you just start to type - and there's a difference if you start typing with / or a letter. Neat, actually.
Ctrl-V also seems to work. Copying filenames is possible, but not complete paths.
