Having restarted VMware from scratch and powered on only gridctrl and central, I was able to connect to http://gridctrl:4889/em from central without any problems.
Continuing the installation of the emcli software started in Grid Control (03), this now completes successfully:
$ java -jar Desktop/emclikit.jar client -install_dir=emcli
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 10.2.0.0.0.

EM CLI client-side install completed successfully.
There is no mention of either inittab or runlevel in either Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation and Basic Configuration or Enterprise Manager Grid Control Quick Installation Guide for Linux x86. Looks like there is a missing installation step.
Now to test, I need to authenticate (see p. 1-7 of Enterprise Manager Grid Control Installation and Basic Configuration) :
$ emcli setup -url="http://gridctrl:48898/em" -username=sysman
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Release 10.2.0.0.0.
