wrong mailing list (sorry peeps)

my 9.0.0 -> 9.0.1 upgrade failed, they then released 9.0.2 but I had already reverted to 8.4.1 (took a day to do a full iCloud restore) so going to 9.0.2 was logical and worked from 8.4.1. 

Apple are no longer signing 8.4.1 so there is no option to downgrade so you have to hope "9.0.0 to 9.0.2” or "9.0.1 to 9.0.2” work as these are the only routes if you are already on 9.0.0.

To be clear, it is 9.0.0 that has the "slide to upgrade” problem, but it didn’t surface with me until the 9.0.1 upgrade was attempted.
