When I use :

I get no message of any kind after executing. It just returns to the shell

Right. You've told it to load the calibration by supplying the calibration
file argument. By default it is not verbose.

dispwin -v myCalibration.cal
I get the usual:

About to open dispwin object on display
About to set calibration
About to destroy dispwin object

Right. You've turned verbosity on using the -v flag.
By supplying the calibration argument you've told it
to load it into the Video LUTs.

Should I be getting some sort of positive confirmation that myCalibration
was actually downloaded to the video LUT?

Only if you turn on verbosity.
You don't appear to be using the Beta8, as it will give messages like:

  About to set given calibration
  Calibration set

This being said, I remember we had the discussion regarding confirmation of
CAL file actually downloaded into the video LUT. When I run the -V parameter
with the name of the ICC profile as the last parameter on the command line,
as prescribed in the usage, should I be getting some sort of "report"? Like
Lars :

Yes, and I added such a message - the "Calibration set" message above.

dispwin  -V  myProfile.icc
Verify: 'myProfile.icc' IS loaded (discrepancy 0.0%)

Yes, Beta 8 will report something like either:

  Verify: 'profile.icm' IS loaded (discrepancy 0.0%)

or

  Verify: 'profile.icm' is NOT loaded (discrepancy 4.5%)

When I type dispwin alone, no parameter, I get :

Right, but to invoke usage you do something like

  dispwin -?

See the first page of the documentation under "Main Utilities and the command 
line".

I would suspect that you are using an old version, pre the verify
option, and the -V is being interpreted as -v, verbose.
