OK, so what I can gather is that the "CPU frequency" setting in menuconfig actually changes the clock speed of the CPU by selecting multipliers/dividers applied to the 40MHz crystal input. I initially though that it was something that needed to be configured based on the speed set by some other method.

I also gather that this setting is used to adjust the internal mathematics in the firmware to keep timings more or less calibrated.

At 240MHz, neither my Nano32 or WROOM-32 will produce a PWM signal. At 160MHz both will produce a PWM signal.

Is the problem with my modules or with the firmware? We have seen here that some modules work at 240MHz, but I am confident that I am not the only person to buy a Nano32 from a particular batch, nor a WROOM-32 from another particular batch. The fact that modules from two manufacturers exhibit the problem suggests to me that there is a significant number of ESP32 modules out there that will not produce PWM at the default frequency setting.

Who's problem is it?

Ahhh! It must be my amateur prototype circuit wiring. Negligent absence of bypassing. Ground bounce etc.

Issue closed, I think.

The sample does work on pin 4 but not my application, maybe because i have WiFi enabled.
Following pins do work: 5, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 25, 26.
