In my original question my fingers typed "period" when my brain was
thinking "duty cycle".  Sigh...

The Microchip literature on the PERIOD makes sense, it's their DUTY CYCLE
calculation that seems to forget the factor of 4 between the input clock
and the instruction clock.  Ignoring their equation and working it out
based on a straight match between TMR2 and the duty cycle value (following
what you said) is much easier, and makes sense to boot.
