I don't know why I then went on to read Chapterhouse: Dune, but I
did, and it was not much better. At this remove, I don't remember a
whole lot of either one - my sense is that they weren't "throw at the
wall" bad, but they were really disappointing.

Is that one of those "Dune" books written by Herbert's son and a ghost
writer?

It claims to have been written by Frank Herbert.  I would have hoped a
ghost writer would have done better.

When Chapterhouse: Dune was released, the San Francisco station
KGO had Frank Herbert as a guest on Jim Eason's program.  Herbert
was promoting the book there, mixed with general interview stuff
with the host.  At one time getting into a pun competition.

"What's next, Gunga Dune?"
"Lorna Dune."
"Briga Dune."
"Dune What Comes Naturally"

With that final one by Herbert, Eason gave up the title of punmaster.
