Why is it that those fragments of scenes, those odd mentions and bits of business, are the parts that take the most damned research?

Anthropic principle, perhaps? (You were already able to assemble the big ones because you’d already done enough research for them that they fit together easily from what you had in working memory.)

I think it's because the Big Scenes seldom involve descriptions of shirt collars. And jackets.

Yeah, those details can get interesting. My mother’s a member of the Costumer’s Guild, so I can usually pick her brains for details; you might find their bookshelf handy.
