Bugger it - I should never have posted the above - premature smugness on
my part. Sure enough, later today on a slightly longer run, it started
showing exactly the same symptoms - so bad I was lucky to get home, as
it completely died a few times.
I have since cut the cover-plate from the MAF, removed the PCB,
resoldered all components / connections on the PCB, cleaned (carefully
with small artist brush and CRC carb cleaner) the hot wire and
temperature sensor resistor, reassembled, glued cover-plate back down
with RTV, and have taken the car on several truly long runs - problem
seems to finally be solved.
So dammit, it seems that it was the MAF / AFM after all.
I can return the used distributor, but it was quite cheap, from quite
low mileage car, and when I set timing with inductive light, at idle
speed the new distributor seemed to be much steadier/less "jumpy" than
the old one was, so although probably not the cause of the problems, the
old distributor was probably not very good / marginal anyway.

As mentioned in our review, buyers of Nissan's NV commercial van can use an online graphics-package configurator to custom-wrap a new truck for business. If they're descended from '70s vanners, they'll likely take another style direction. More��
