Thanks for the useful explanations.

Right, but what confused me was that I expected the closing brace in
numbercommand={\gobbleoneargument} to bound what numbercommand was set
to.

I'm happy to put the ] on the same line. I had ended up with case 1
by mistake after a bunch of experiments with exercise numbering, and
then it took me a while to figure out the change that was causing the
error.
