Nope, it's URL.

Note that URL is not just a cosmetic renaming of NSURL in Swift 3, but a whole new type that wraps a NSURL object. Both types are accessible, though you’re going to have the best Swift 3 experience if you switch to URL — and its altered API and semantics.

So, it turns out, destURL was a let, not a var. That made the difference. Sure seems like a bad diagnostic.
However, there's also a problem in that the documentation in Xcode 8 is:
func setResourceValues(_ keyedValues: [URLResourceKey : Any]) throws
But the Xcode generated interface shows it as:
public mutating func setResourceValues(_ values: URLResourceValues) throws
And incidentally, it seems Xcode's code completion still isn't reliable, in that I can command-click on URL, but not on setResourceValues (I just get a ? appearing).
I'll write a bug.
