Research direction
Start with the traceback in electrum/gui/qt/init.py and follow the wallet flow through electrum/wallet.py, electrum/keystore.py, and electrum/ecc.py, especially _ser_to_python_ecdsa_point. Reproduce the reported standard-wallet creation path if possible and determine why the public key becomes an invalid EC point. Done means that this flow no longer raises InvalidECPointException and has a regression test.
