I just did an apt-get upgrade and now the GDM sessions menu has been cut
down to Default (which is KDM), Failsafe GNOME and Failsafe something

/etc/gdm/Sessions $ ls -l
total 24

but GDM is ignoring them.  Why, and how do I fix this (preferably
quickly)?

Recent version of gdm get there sessions from /usr/share/xsessions
For example to have xfce4 showup. Put xfce.desktop in 
/usr/share/xessions with the following contents

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Xfce4
Comment=Xfce4
Exec=/usr/bin/xfce4-session
# no icon yet, only the top three are currently used
Icon=
Type=Application
