Research direction

Reproduce on an Android device with Element X and Element Classic installed, using the reported 26.08.0 setup and the same homeserver. Compare the key-backup state reported by both apps and determine why X requests migration when Classic reports backup as working; done when both apps agree about the backup validity.
