Research direction
Reproduce this in darktable 5.4 on Linux: set the Collections module to folder mode, move photos with Shift+M, and observe the mode afterward. Trace the file-moving action and Collections state handling; done means moving photos leaves the module in folder mode instead of resetting it to film-roll mode.
