I'm not sure exactly what I did differently... but in ports.conf I 
changed to:

NameVirtualHost *:81
Listen 81

It turns out that the site that was trying to be used in sites-available 
is default-mythbuntu; I changed <VirtualHost *:80> to <VirtualHost 
*:81>, restarted apache and it worked. So, the sequence was:

edit ports.conf as above
sudo a2dissite default-mythbuntu
Then edit sites-available/default-mythbuntu as above
sudo a2ensite default-mythbuntu
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

I'm not sure if a2ensite added any magic ingredient, but it now works.
