Interesting.  Unless I'm missing something, this makes it
trivial.  (Use nested Q-sets of these "singles" to visit
every "plain course".)  I wonder why I've never seen this
result quoted.

More generally, doesn't it allow us to state that any
connected Cayley graph with generators {a, b} is Hamiltonian
if |a^-1 . b| = 2?
