Should there be others who also find themselves in this position, the 
solution is to name the field exactly as it is named in the DB. This 
isn't explicitly stated in the docs. So if you create an extension which 
adds a field, the field in the DB will be named something like (in my 
case) "tx_golfsportdbmod_member_number", so you need to use markers thusly:

###SUB_INCLUDED_FIELD_tx_golfsportdbmod_member_number###
###SUB_ERROR_FIELD_tx_golfsportdbmod_member_number###
###MISSING_TX_GOLFSPORTDBMOD_MEMBER_NUMBER###

And ts thusly:

plugin.tx_sremailsubscribe.formFields = 
name,email,tx_golfsportdbmod_member_number,module_sys_dmail_category,hidden

plugin.tx_sremailsubscribe_pi1.extraLabels = tx_golfsportdbmod_member_number

Hope this helps someone in the future!
