I hope I haven't broken it....
OTOH the obvious user (i386 sysinst) has its own, hand-crafted, code
to edit the partition table - which I need to align with fdisk.

The bootmenu stuff is (should be) only compiled for i386.
I did sort of wonder whether it ought to be possible to run this code
as a host utility...

What do you mean?
I've made it much easier to update the boot code (it used to be almost
impossible to put in a different copy of the boot code).
    fdisk -c mbr_bootsel /dev/rwd0d
will put the mbr_bootsel code from /usr/mdec into wd0.
