Okay, so if a want a large number objects made from the same model (which
then differ by translation, scale, and rotation), then this approach is
wrong?  I shouldn't create one base object and clone its trimesh this way,
because you're saying I get gobs of identical shaders and textures.  Is
that right?

So what I need to do is manually duplicate the geometry of the trimesh and
manually set each trimesh to use the exact same shader object, right?
