Yes, that was it.
bin.tgz expanded into just a ./usr directory when first unpacked
(likely due to limited disk space).
Once extra disk space was freed, then bin.tgz cleanly unpacked into
multiple directories included the ./sbin containing mkdosfs.
mkdosfs then copied into /sbin just as suggested.

Following this, I successfully ran
fdformat -n /dev/fd0u1440 ; mkdosfs -ccv /dev/fd0u1440
(this floppy-formatting combination works quite effectively from the
BL3 commandline)
