I gave up on hinge-mortising with a chisel, as it's just too ugly when I do it. I decided to use the router table, and Incra LS Positioner as it's meant to be used, and incrementally move to rout out the door edges to sink the hinges properly. Here I'm using the right-angle attachment, with a wooden handscrew clamp to hold the two doors against the fence, with a fronter, and backer board to keep it from tearing out on either side of the doors. This worked beautifully, and the hinges fit *exactly.* Awesome.
