Research direction

Start at electrum_plugins/cosigner_pool/qt.py:on_receive and trace the call into electrum/keystore.py:get_master_private_key and electrum/bitcoin.py:pw_decode. Reproduce the reported cosigner-pool decryption path using the supplied traceback and compare the 2of3 and 3of3 reports. Done requires identifying why the password is rejected and documenting or correcting the resulting behavior, but the issue does not specify an expected outcome or test.
