I don't know enough about colour perception to argue the merits of one diagram vs. another, but am I incorrect in my assessment of what colours are entering the gamut (lots of green, a bit of red, not much blue at all)?

Sort of. The green area is not nearly as dramatically different as the xy diagram makes it seem, while the red and blue areas will appear more different in the u'v' diagram. (Of course, chromaticity diagrams in general aren’t a perfect tool.) The “Gah” is directed at Wikipedia, not at you. You can see some u'v' diagrams alongside spectral power distribution charts of specific real-world displays in http://cias.rit.edu/media/uploads/faculty-f-projects/1304/documents/239/modeling-observer-metamerism.pdf http://cias.rit.edu/media/uploads/faculty-f-projects/1304/do...
