Pressing the Power button (briefly) in the situation last described yield a new familiar text display (normal shutdown), and did shut down.

Reboot gave only:

Waited until I saw the Dell logo to press and hold the shift key (#2 / #3 in the instructions), but no GRUB menu.

Next, didn't wait: pressed while the screen was still black/empty.
Same result as described above (4 lines)

I don't know whether I have the UEFI enabled. Assuming yes, and trying the Escape key next.

Yes!
