Now am wondering if it's the condition of the patches, the patch material, my technique, door #4. Can switch brands if warranted.
Back home I scraped the fluid reside off the carcass from the inside and applied a tube patch. Worked, back in business.
One claimed advantage of Dynaplug is that the plug is supposed to be a permanent solution that does not need to be removed and the tire does not need to be patched afterward.

This is not a tubeless sealant answer, but CO2 is a smaller molecule than air (i.e., mostly N2 and O2) and thus more prone to leak out of the tire (or tube), so it is recommended to deflate and re-inflate with air after returning home.
