It got better when I re-enabled JS caching and temporarily disabled
CSS-caching. I started to see the CSS inclusion statements in HTML source
and could debug from there.

The URI needs to match the file location when requested from the webserver
of course.
In the above example the URI should be "/whups/themes/default/dossier.css".
Beats me why both the file location and the URI are relevant in the hook,
though.

Case closed, thanks to all.
