Well damn! Turns out the replacement controller with LCD screen I purchased from the same Hong Kong outfit I originally bought my hub motor kit from features wiring/plugs that isn't compatible with those on the bike's harness. That's a bugger, 'cause I specifically told the seller I'd rather purchase an upgraded controller from them to ensure it was compatible with the hub motor they sold me rather than risk buying elsewhere and ending up with the possibility of mis-matched wiring/plugs.
More than 6 months have passed since I made the purchase, so I may not even bother chasing-up the seller on this score. For the time being, just to get rolling, I'm going with the original controller that came with the kit - but that doesn't have capacity for wiring in the LCD I specifically wanted.
Re-wiring, re-soldering and swapping-out connectors wasn't really something I wanted extra hassle with - but that's a road I may just end up having to go down.
Sadly, for the time being, my LCD screen is just a handlebar ornament....
