FWIW, I deleted and recreated the account and everything worked just
fine, although this wasn't the path I initially intended to go take.
Anyway, before deleting the account I found this nifty tool called
'account-console' from the 'account-plugin-tools' package. Prior to
deletion, this is what I would get from 'account-console show <ID>':
joao@tardis:~$ account-console show 1
account: id 1, enabled, provider: google
Global settings:
CredentialsId: 1 (<class 'int'>)
auth/mechanism: web_server (<class 'str'>)
auth/method: oauth2 (<class 'str'>)
auth/oauth2/user_agent/AuthPath: o/oauth2/auth (<class 'str'>)

auth/oauth2/web_server/Host: accounts.google.com (<class 'str'>)
auth/oauth2/web_server/RedirectUri: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ (<class 'str'>)
auth/oauth2/web_server/ResponseType: code&access_type=offline (<class
'str'>)
[TRIM]
See last line 'ResponseType' containing 'code&access_type=offline'. I
also found this in '~/.config/libaccounts-glib/accounts.db', table
'Settings' (e.g., 'select service,key,value from Settings where id
=<ACCOUNT-ID>').
After recreating the account, 'account-console' now shows pretty much
the same with two different key differences:
auth/oauth2/web_server/AuthPath: o/oauth2/auth?access_type=offline (<class
'str'>)
and
auth/oauth2/web_server/ResponseType: code (<class 'str'>)
which do reflect the contents of /usr/share/accounts/providers/google.provider
Finally, after looking a bit further into the code, I'm inclined to believe
that this may have something to do with class QUrl being stripping '&' and
substituting it for a % control char -- given QUrl being used throughout, I
wasn't able to pinpoint the exact place where this is happening.
If this eventually happens to my other google account, I intend to
backup the sqlite db and attempt an in-place fix by adjusting the values
for keys of ResponseType' and 'AuthPath'.
