Okay, I've solved the problem - it was a problem at my end but it's something that people need to be aware of:
For all InfDeaths defined as mutations, i.e. InfDeaths 9 and 11-99:
The animation MUST HAVE a MakeInfantry=X line.
If just one of them does not have this line then all mutations will not play an animation at all.
Alternatively, you can have an associated anim that does not have a MakeInfantry= line, provided it does have a Next= line that points to an anim that does have a MakeInfantry= line (or a Next= line that points to... and so on).
The reason I had a mutation death that wasn't a mutation was because I wanted to use the unit palette. Presumably I can do this using AltPalette=yes instead which I will try later.
This should probably be noted in pd's patch usage tutorial (undoubtedly someone will make a comprehensive guide to modding with the patch at some point).
I'm now going to go and make a note of this in my MakeInfantry article on modenc.

Ever wondered what the hell is going on?
