Research direction

Reproduce the error by scanning the QR code generated by the Electrum addrequest command, using the payment URL shown in the issue. Trace how that URL is parsed and validated, then determine why it is rejected as not pointing to a payment request handling server. Done means the reported URL is handled correctly or the failure is clearly covered by a regression test.
