Manually running apt update - apt upgrade resulted in about a dozen packages getting updated. This was after Software Updater told me my system was up to date, but a new release was available. So, the core issue appears to be that Software Updater is missing updates that are only detected by manually running apt update.
After running apt update - apt upgrade, I am now in the process of running do-release-upgrade.
I got some help on this in the original bug report I started with:
https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ ubuntu- release- upgrader/ +bug/1799009
