>> I still favour the less intrusive patch posted previously (adding a condition at line 5235) since it avoids duplication; there is already far too much of that in the code (everything seems to be done in at least two places). The code is obviously in the need of restructuring, but we shouldn't conflate that effort with fixing this specific bug.

Attached is the patch that I intend to push if there are no objections. The actual change is the same as before and I anticipate no trouble arising from it but tests are usually more fragile.

This issue could very well be the root cause of or at least connected to other bugs: maybe bug#36017 or bug#34341? In any case it's good to see it fixed; it annoyed me (with GNU ELPA in particular) for quite some time and the various unsatisfactory workarounds suggested each time this came up (such as using HTTP instead of HTTPS) are no longer required.
