As a follow up, I ended up going in and re-doing the whole (foreign) income section, then got prompted to see if foreign income exclusion was an option, filling in travel days in the US again, etc then finally the questions about foreign accounts. This time it saved them and Form 8938 came along when printing out. It was not enough to search for Form 8938 and the 'jump to' that and fill it in (as mentioned in some FAQ's). So the problem is gone, although not entirely sure what triggered it or what I did differently.
Thanks again @SusanY1 for your help though.
