Another problem with the above is when I run raspi-config to try to setup a WiFi connection (option N2 Wi-fi), I get the error message Could not communicate with wpa_supplicant.

I tried again and did get this working. BUT, it doesn't work immediately after a reboot, and neither does the WiFi icon in the status bar. The WiFi icon says "connection to dhcpcd lost". If I do dhcpcd <interfacename> from the command line, it connects to the DHCP server and gets an IP address. After this I have the expected network connectivity, though the WiFi icon still says "connection to dhcpcd lost".

I would say to sudo systemctl disable dhcpcd.service, reboot and use networking with /etc/network/interfaces.
