My wife went thru a similar deal, diagnosed as an ankle sprain, felt better after basic care for a couple weeks, but always was a bit sore, nothing that restricted her activities (was running 8-10 miles 2-3x per week on it), almost a year went by, started hurting again while training for a half marathon. Had an MRI, found a similar chunk of bone pulled off by a ligament. Orthopedic determined it was non-operable, wore a boot for 4 months and has been fine since. Unfortunately they don't do repeat MRI's to verify the bone reattached unless there is persistent symptoms.
Based on this and your story I think the ankle may tend to lack symptoms despite major problems sometimes??

Yes! My knee was what brought me to my PCP. My ankle might bother me for a week and then be fine for a while.
I had nothing other than the initial extreme swelling and bruising to make me think it was broken.
