It's now working, having got a newer version from IBM (sorry, didn't go and
get the latest from ntp.org).
I think the change which was relevant was merely having more clients
connecting - hence looking for changes in the system config would have been
a red herring. Since I advertise the system as an internal timeserver for
the company, I don't control how many clients do connect to it.
