Update. . The wires I added to support either S4 or S6 alternators do what they're supposed to.
With regards to this, it was because the S6 was toast. With the rebuilt S4, the idiot lights illuminated like they should:

Not wanting to give up on the S6 alternator, I rebuilt it by replacing the bridge rectifier and voltage regulator this weekend. I took it to Oreilly's to have tested and it passed! Success! !
I'll be back in business without any battery drain (I hope!) and with a properly functioning alternator when I get the car running again. . .
