Does an 802.11 transmitter that was already being used to support
their own WiFi network that they are paying for really consume vastly
more electricity to support a second SSID? In my experience, that
claim is hard to fathom.

If popular, the radio might have a higher transmit duty cycle, but as I
suggest in another post, maybe watthours per month.
