More testing:

I Reset the iPad database.
Selected the option to Sync my data.
No change - looked exactly the same:
- no Perspectives button in sidebar
- missing default Completed (by Date) perspective
- my four custom perspectives which I had previously starred were still there
-----

Next I tried another reset.
But this time, skipped the sync, and selected the use standalone option.

Results:
- Even that did not have the Perspectives button in the sidebar
- missing default Completed (by Date) perspective
- obviously with a fresh standalone database, my four custom perspectives would not be there
- the default Completed (by Date) perspective was missing
-----

So then I deleted OmniFoucs from my iPad.
Then I synced iPad to iTunes.
Then I added OmniFocus back to iPad.
Then I synced to iTunes again.

Then I launched OmniFocus iPad.
Set up my sync server address and authenticated.

Results:
- no Perspectives button in sidebar
- missing default Completed (by Date) perspective
- This time, my four custom perspectives which I had previously starred were gone
-----

Quit OmniFocus iPad.

Launched OmniFocus Mac.
Performed a sync.

Created a quick Contexts perspective to kickstart the process (even though my other perspectives were still in OmniFocus Mac).
Performed a sync.

Quit OmniFocus Mac.

Launched OmniFocus iPad.

Results:
- no Perspectives button in sidebar
- missing default Completed (by Date) perspective
- my four custom perspectives which I had previously starred were gone
-----

Performed a Sync.

Results:
Perspective button FINALLY appeared in sidebar, along with my custom perspectives.

BUT still not the default perspective Completed (by Date).
