Yeah, had a few other things to do. Twice it just got too hard - I was
pretty good at the original SC but couldn't deal well with all the new
units and abilities in BW, so I paused for a good couple of years
towards the end of the Terran BW missions and again for a year or so
just before the end (about 2 missions left). When I heard there was a
patch with UDP support (1.10? 1.11?) I dug it out and played some MP,
so I decided to finish off the campaign. Gotta be the only SP game I've
spent more time on than MoM and Elite.

Hmmm. Are we talking about the same mission? Kerrigan appears and has a
long chat with the other guy (forget his name - Ghost turned Zerg), at
the end of the *previous* mission. If you're right about the final
mission then this is the problem - she's not appearing to talk to
Zeratul.
Will try the mission again from the beginning.

Ok, then something's screwed up in my save. No real surprise, since it
dates back to 1.07 or earlier.

Wow, this is really interesting - again, are we talking about the final
mission completed in 25 mins? I think there are only 8 chapters in each
BW campaign (though some are called 4a and 4b etc.).
Will definitely try this. How I'm going to do it in <25 mins I don't
know - it took me about 2.5 hours the first time! Maybe that's causing
my problem - maybe I took so long that Zeratul forgot what to do next
(or maybe Kerrigan just took off).

So is this a different cinematic from the one you get if you take more
than 25 mins?
Thanks for all the info - are there other hidden missions to trigger?
