So, it appears that doubling the length of a short antenna captures
about
3.6 times the signal.


And, therefore, by the reciprocity characteristic, the short antenna is
an inefficient radiator?


No, not at all. If the kind of reciprocity to which you refer were true,
then the receiving antenna would capture ALL the power radiated.
