Found the problem.
At some point after last running update manager, I had manually changed
uids. I did not chown everything in /tmp, and there was a directory
/tmp/1427684339 that was owned by the old uid; apparently updates were
silently blocked because Eclipse could not write to it. That is, there
was no indication in the GUI (other than the misleading "No features
found" message), but there were console messages that pointed me to the
real cause.
It's not clear why Eclipse leaves that directory lying around between
runs, or how its name is generated (clearly not time/date/version/uid
based).
