TIL!  It works without any babysitting.

I simplified ...

(add-hook
 'after-init-hook
 (lambda ()
   (require 'package)
   (unless (seq-every-p #'package-installed-p package-selected-packages)
     (package-refresh-contents)
     (package-install-selected-packages t)))
 -99)

... to ...

(add-hook 'after-init-hook
          (lambda () package-install-selected-packages t)
          -99)

... and my Emacs configuration bootstrapped without any problems.

That said, the VC command still wins, for does not need the lambda. :)

Perhaps we should default the `noconfirm' parameter to `t' when the user
uses the command non-interactively?  While on it, we could also rename
it to `no-confirm' to make the spellchecker, and thus the reader,
happier.  :)

Either way, thank you for letting me know!
