I'm rusty on Delphi, but I think you may need an "override" on your constructor declaration.

Exactly. More generally, the advice is to never ignore a compiler warning, such as the one about a non-virtual method hiding a virtual method by the same name.

Excellent point on that compiling warning. For whatever (stupid) reason, I had the messages window closing except on compile failures. Noted for future reference. : )

A:
You need to override your constructor, and then call inherited as the /first/ thing in that constructor.
public
constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent); override;
constructor TcmTPCustomDataConnector.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
begin
inherited Create(AOwner); // TODO : check duplicate
ShowMessage('TcmTPCustomDataConnector.Create entered.');
FObservingDataPanels := TList.Create();
end;

That did it! : ) Thanks Nick! (Great to see you watching and contributing here, too, FWIW).
