My brain, in an act of inflexibility, decided to disassociate "Initialize from the selection" from "Initialize layer mask...to...selection". Thanks for your patience, I see how it works nowSmile Much appreciated!

So, the reason you don't see the "feather" immediately after executing it and must either copy/paste/paste new/hide...or apply a layer mask, is because it's a "selection" and isn't realized until you executed a visually enabling action? Is this a fair line of thought?

Yes, the selection is "latent" so to speak so you only see it by its indirect effects. 

But you can make it visible  using "quickmask" mode:

   

You can also use Select>Selection editor to see the selection, but you don't see your image at the same time.
