This proves mainly two things:

1) I'm an idiot.

Not at all.   I think this falls into the category of "unknown unknowns".  If there
was idiocy, it was the others on this list who didn't ask if flatpak was involved,
but as  Donald Rumsfeld famously mentioned, unknown unknowns are 
problematic.
 
2) Flatpaks are still not a match for native packaged apps. They still
have a lot of subtle problems which crop up for the novice user like me.

The problems are the same as you could encounter on a normal install, but
the sandbox limits your ability to troubleshoot.
