K Series Grey plug P11 NY Brown / Yellow Ignition Warning Light NY - where does this go in reality?

The Brise alternator does not need a bulb (or a resistor) to pre-magnetise, it needs a switched +ve. There's a separate output for a lamp should you want one. It will be fairly easy to wire one in.

I guess the lamp was deleted because you've got the voltmeter in the dash. I have yet to see the warning lamp come on in my Stack for low voltage - and I have had a couple of alternators failing.

when it does rj, it will be a slow (slow enough to miss it when first glancing in horror at the warning light) flashing "low voltage warning 11.5 volts" I think the gate is set to 11.5 volts as default, so you will (hopefully not) see a redish light that at first frightened the carp out of me because I thought it was the oil light, but that is a brighter deeper more scary red (been there had that, sump fell off) and the clue is that flashing text warning. At no time did I see any alternator warning light and I cannot see one wired in to the Stack per the Stack diagram. 

What is perplexing me is why the wire is still assiduously wired in to the standard alternator D+ and in the Stack Dash loom variant if it is then chopped off somewhere. It's not chopped in the engine loom so it would have to be chopped in the main loom somewhere; I haven't felt like the usual upside down contortions required to explore the under dash loom looking for it. 

this is why I asked if anyone has an old "stack dash variant main loom" lying around, easy to follow the wire to see where it goes.

edit: I suppose if your alternator fails, but your battery voltage is above 11.5 this warning won't kick in.

My first point of search would be near the warning lights. The brown / yellow wire should not be too difficult to spot. There's also a diode in the circuit - this is around 4mm diameter and probably 7 long. It's wrapped in heat shrink.
