...Is it ncdump that hides  coordinate variables in
OPeNDAP datasets or are they not visible in the NetCDF-C API either?

It is the netcdf API that hides them.

I can't see how we can use OPeNDAP as a transparent "on the wire" NetCDF
if it misses out coordinate variables.

You do have an alternative.
If you have compiled netcdf using --enable-netcdf4, then you can
do an ncdump -k3 and it will present the DAP data in netcdf-4 format,
and in that format, everything is visible.
