Tim, thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, I've encountered this problem in non-upgrade scenarios, including both the LiveCD and a fresh desktop install.

When jockey-gtk is first viewed in 9.04, it shows the wl driver as *already* enabled ("activated but not currently in use"). Is wl supposed to be loading automatically like this, or should it the user have to tell jockey to load it?

If wl is not supposed to load by default, this could help explain why the deactivate/reboot/reactivate/reboot workaround (mentioned by tomDaniel and Michael above) works.
