BTW, we found that the user's application was linking against 
libKF5NetworkManagerQt, not KF6, because they were using an intermediary 
version of that library, between the addition of the support for Qt 6, but 
before the library renaming. So when the process was launched in production, 
it found the system libKF5NetworkManagerQt and that loaded Qt 5.

Clearly there were more changes than just the QProcess launch and the problem 
disappearing with any environment variable being set. That "launch in 
production" was an important part of the symptom that the reported neglected 
to mention for three days...
