Thunderbird OpenPGP Export ECDH Passphrase Error

I've exported my OpenPGP secret key from Thunderbird 91 to OpenPGP. The EdDSA subkey (certify, sign) works fine but the ECDH subkey (encrypt) always fail during passphrase verification.

Changing the passphrase in OpenPGP has the same results - changing the EdDSA part works fine, but unlocking ECDH part always fail.

Is this a bug in Thunderbird or is this a bug in OpenPGP?
