I've managed to get it to work.
You are right that I don't need to do anything magical.

My problem was probably introducing too much change, instead of
smaller steps.  Each step takes so long I thought I could cut some
corners...
I had everything working except for the pom-first.
After getting the current modules working as pom-first and splitting
the build into two, I went back to do the same thing to the other
internal (but not same project) dependency.

I think I also migrated from Require-Bundle to Import-Package at the same time.
I'm sure I double checked my Import-Package statements but it turns
out I was missing one package, so when I was getting errors I thought
it was because the pom-first stuff wasn't working, or some other issue
to do with class loading and log4j, xstream, spring...

And while I mention changing too much stuff, as part of attempting to
fix this issue I re-wrapped my non-OSGi dependencies and changed the
Eclipse-BuddyPolicy from "registered" to 'dependent".
Which didn't fix my problems (as I thought, since it was missing
Import-Packages), but has fixed my need to copy in
META-INF/spring.handlers and META-INF/spring.schemas from the spring
bundles.

Thank you very much for your patience and answers.
