Ah-ha!  After some googling, I found that with newer Xorg, you need to define
a Virtual attribute for each Display subsection in xorg.conf, or you will not get
HW rendering.  (Is there already a launchpad issue for this?)
The live CD does not come with any xorg.conf at all, so of course no
direct rendering.  After installing an xorg.conf with the required Virtual
attributes, I get

GL_RENDERER   = Mesa DRI R200 (RV280 5962) 20090101 AGP 4x
PowerPC/Altivec TCL

(and 700 fps instead of 100), and color is still ok.
