Oh, man, I don't know how I missed the fact that the draw bolt cup was missing in the photo. I guess I didn't look close enough. Of course that would cause a nasty rattle.

Correct. If you read my points above, you'll note that leather washers are only used wherever the fender (not the stay) attaches to the frame, or a sturdy structure (like a rack). You don't use them on any part of the stay. You want to make the stays as rigid as possible, but you want to make the points of attachment to the frame more pliable.
