Thanks to all for your patience, summary of my "reproducible upgrade" is
that under some | [perhaps] exceptional conditions 'cleanup_database.pl'
does upgrade the Koha version. Under what might be called "normal"
conditions, absolutely everything is as expected with no problems.
You'll see from the notes below, that having a *koha owned* koha-3.08.10 at
/ prompts a version upgrade [the *Important Note* below.] There is no
"verbosity" using -v with './cleanup_database.pl'

So far, so good; OPAC and staff-admin both functional.
To reproduce upgrade, restore db; sftp [...] koha-3.08.05.tar.gz and
koha-3.08.10.tar.gz /home/paul; "untar" koha-3.08.10.tar.gz in /home/paul/;
cp koha-3.08.10.tar.gz to /
koha at hardy:/$ ls -l /home/paul
