The first message got mixed up (I was distracted by breaking
and tearing sounds from bathroom, long due repairs).

The actual machine of interest is an old Dell Inspiron 7720 with
Intel Core I7-3619QM CPU and hybrid graphics, Optimus:
(Intel Ivybridge Mobile + Nvidia Geforce GT 650M).
On it a bare metal install of Fed 25 beta running Wayland.

After above mentioned update Wayland 'seemed to have
disappeared' so I checked with 
'loginctl show-session X -p Type' (hereafter 'loginctl') and
'echo $Wayland_Display' (hereafter 'echo') and found:

Login with Gnome
-loginctl 'Type=x11'
-echo     '-Display'
Login with Gnome on Xorg
-loginctl 'Type=x11'
-echo     '-Display'

As a control I also checked on 2 laptops I actually use,
both with bare metal install of Fed 25 beta + Wayland.

Lenovo Thinkpad T550 with Broadwell Intel HD Graphics 5500, 
Login with Gnome
-loginctl 'Type=wayland'
-echo     'wayland-0'
Login with Gnome on Xorg
-loginctl 'Type=x11'
-echo     '        '

Asus Zenbook with Skylake Intel HD graphics 510
Login with Gnome
-loginctl 'Type=wayland'
-echo     '            '
Login with Gnome on Xorg
-loginctl 'Type=x11'
-echo     '        '

This was as expected (except for the empty string for echo
under Gnome login with the Asus Zenbook)

So the real question was: is the result for the Dell Inspiron
the 'default' behavior for 'hybrids' or has something gone
wrong. Is there a foolproof way of checking if Wayland is 
actually running?
(I have not had the time to dig around with journalctl for
 errors or clues to what is happening)

How about the erratic behavior of 'echo $Wayland_Display'
(empty string with Gnome login on Asus and curious string
'-Display' on both logins with Dell).

If these things are actual bugs what component should I report
them for.

The Settings-Details discrepancy was explained by Adam Jackson.
