I apologize for talking to myself on-list, but I've become enlightened about my
problem.

Alphabetical order matters.  If A has already been copied and B is a new
hardlink, then all will work as expected.

if B has already been copied, and A is the new hardlink, rsync v3 doesn't know
it's an inode match until later in the transfer.

In my case a new file A was copied over and then B was hardlinked to it.  For
all files in the current transfer, the linking worked, but the transfer was not
necessary as the file already existed in the destination, just later in
transfer.

I would say that using -P for snapshots implies --protocol=29 for the current
time.


I don't know if my problem is related to the link-dest bug that Dieter
originally described, but is the same as Theo's problem.
