I noticed the radio suppression capacitor on the coil, and tried unplugging it, for want of anything else to do, and the the result was an instant and dramatic improvement to the idle smoothness.
I've never read anything about them, just grown accustomed to odd components being earthed with capacitors. No one else has ever reported any faults, so checking them has never featured on any to do list.

Which coil terminal was it connected to?
