The strange thing is, even with loglevel debug5, I don't get any

Then it isn't, because there are definitely log messages, which were
specifically put there for the purpose of recording the fully-expanded
archive command string:
I must be, as I increased the debug level and that actually took
place. I did get more log messages.
Is there anything else that could prevent the archiving from taking
place, without giving any message?
Did you check Tom's suggestion that you haven't got a duplicate
postgresql.conf somewhere?
As I said, other changes in the config file did have an effect, so that
hardly can be the issue.
Could it be that for some reason the WAL backup config isn't being
picked up? Stray non-printing character? Typo? Try "show all".
If that fails I'd think the quickest thing might be to initdb an
alternative installation, run it on a different port with its own config
file and push a load of rows through it. See if that picks up your WAL
backup script. If it does, then it must be something with your config
file. If not, then it's something in the code.
