Research direction
Start with electrum_gui/qt/main_window.py at privkeys_thread, then follow wallet.py's export_private_key into keystore.py's get_private_key and check_seed. Reproduce the Windows standard-wallet failure if possible and determine why InvalidPassword is raised; done means the cause is addressed and the behavior is covered by a regression test.
