This isn't a consistent problem, turns out: I just re-wrote the same 32GB SD 
card with that image, and this time the growfs phase passed quickly. After a 
reboot there is no problem with mounting the FS, either. So I'm going to guess 
that hanging resize (and powering off in the middle of that) breaks the FS 
label somehow. In any case the board works nice(r) now.

(The only difference between the card now, and the last time I tried this, is 
that it's had six different Linuxes installed on it for the Pine64+ in the 
meantime)
