If the current (-I1) coming out of a small toroidally-wound coil,
effectively of zero length and diameter in terms of a wavelength, is
different in magnitude from the current (I2) going in at the other end,
where is the make-up-the-difference current (I3) coming from?

I1 + I2 + I3 = Effectively zero.

To where is the I3 wire connected ?

Or is Kirchoff finally going out of fashion according to some noisy,
baffle-gabbing, old-wive-contributors to this supposed educational newsgroup

The current is not the same at all points in a distributed network, Reg.
Why is the current into a 1/4WL matching stub higher than the current out?
Lumped circuit analysis simply cannot be used on a distributed circuit problem.
I can show you a series stub where current is flowing into both ends at the
same time. 180 degrees later, current is flowing out of both ends at the
same time. Does anyone understand the implications of a distributed network?
