Research direction
Start with the Add Google Account sign-in flow described in the reproduction steps, focusing on the return from the IEEE login portal and the reported Google-server error. Compare this path with the working personal Google account flow on Android 13 and LineageOS 20; done means an IEEE-managed account completes sign-in successfully.
