To my utter amazement, I actually found one that is as bright as it
claims it is, comes on instantly, and has a form factor suitable to
replace SOME incandescents.

My questions are

- are there any e-savers that will work with dimmers?

Yes, but not in the UK. It seems there is no market.

There is a market. What there isn't at the moment is a control IC that can
handle the more complex voltage pulses from most dimmers. I believe
STMicroelectronics have a 230volt version in development.
