Importing the mnemonic in the 'correct' order leads to the phishing scam wallet associated with Facebook.
Using the mnemonic in the order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 results in that scam/phishing wallet.
However, using the mnemonic in the order 1, 7, 2, 8, 3, 9, 4, 10, 5, 11, 6, 12, I tested and found a third-party Bitcoin wallet with actual transaction records.
[This should be a near-zero probability coincidence, an unreplicable event. Testing with other mnemonics consistently produces new, empty addresses.]
In other words, it was an extremely, extremely low-probability, accidental discovery.
I was using the official Electrum wallet application from the Google Play Store."
