Outcome

What did you expect?

Banner that says, "Verify this session" disappears and device is verified

What happened instead?

"Verify this session" banner remains present
Settings: Encryption shows message: "Device not verified
You need to verify this device in order to view your encryption settings"

Recovery key method is also broken, so it's currently impossible to verify my device.
