A family I've now met twice on my walks round the local (municipal) golf course have a 16-week old female. Overfull of energy, (jumps up despite what owner shrieks), but responds to stroking by sitting, then sliding/collapsing onto side/back for more attention.

I find jumping up can be incredibly difficult to control as you need the cooperation of strangers. A cute puppy jumping up invariably elicits encouragement and "don't worry, I love dogs", when you need people to pay it no attention while you work on the issue. And it's not something all puppies grow out of.
Edit: not suggesting you're the unhelpful stranger..!

You're describing our dog! He can't pass a stranger without rolling over for belly rubs. I'm told he did it in the middle of a funeral procession once

Yes, I'm really pleased with him and hugely looking forward to picking him up. They've sent me videos showing he has fantastic recall from distance, which is great in a young pup, plus he's house trained and crate trained to boot. Happy times!
