That was a week ago, and it did arrive.  Here are some pics of it,
including with the blue shroud removed:

It didn't fit into a couple of server platforms that were readily
available.  The next thing to try is likely installing some cooling fans
intended for 1U chassis right onto the Xeon Phi card, thus producing
airflow similar to what the card would be exposed to in proper chassis.
Maybe one or two of these:

(12k RPM, so must be very noisy, but that's OK for this machine).

Here's how someone else fit another 5110P into a not exactly right
server platform, though:
