While I never did manage to locate the cause of this bug, two new
workarounds for it are now possible.
The first is to type:
M-x android-request-storage-access
and select the ``internal storage'' directory from the file manager
dialog displayed. It will then appear under:
/content/storage/com.android.externalstorage*
Mind that this form of file access is somewhat slow due to inept
programming by the Android developers:
https://issuetracker.google.com/u/1/issues/293494717
which they have dismissed, since they are evidently incapable of
attaining even the most elementary levels of reading comprehension, and
consequent of being implemented in Java, files within /content/storage
will be inaccessible to subprocesses.
The second is to install Termux-enabled builds (see the README in the
Sourceforge repository for further details), in which case any
permissions you grant Termux will also be extended to cover Emacs.
