Backup has an invalid signature from verified device #8905

I did a online backup of my encryption keys a few days ago with Riot-web 1.0.1
Today I got a update of Riot 0.8.23 (B-b164) on Android which asked me as well If I want to backup the encryption keys. I followed the dialog, entered the password I used for the backup with Riot-web a few days ago and everything looked fine.

But if I go the the security settings in Riot-web I see now:

Backup has a valid signature from this device
Backup has an invalid signature from verified device Mobilgerät

and a similar message in the Android app.

After I couldn't find a way in the settings to cross-verify my devices. I created a new end-to-end encrypted room and tried to type a message. Now a dialog popped up asking for verification. The new verification didn't worked (maybe it is not yet implemented on Android?) so I opted for the legacy verification and performed it on both devices. On Android now everything is green, but on the Desktop I still see the warning from above.

What's the right thing to do now? How do I fix it?
