Hmmm maybe that's supposed to be what happens, but it's not happening.
I've already found /etc/apk/world and seen that it's populated.  I think
that's how a simple "apk add" (no third argument) immediately knows which
packages to install, which were installed previously.

I don't suppose you know where to find the trigger for these packages being
installed on boot? I guess I'll need to investigate further on what I now
suspect could be a bug (or something misconfigured on my system).
