On a hunch I substituted a Technical Consumer Products (TCP) SpringLamp 2700K
_dimmable_ 75watt equivalent for the incandescent.

Bingo!

No buzz, no hum, no flicker, just all 4 CFLs working perfectly.

I was told by the vendor that TCP holds one or more patents on the dimmable
technology and that this is the logjam. (I have know idea whether this is
true. Just repeating what I was told.)
