Fails to start on amd64

Attempting to launch element-desktop 1.11.94 (135) on my PC produces the following console output:

A JavaScript error occurred in the main process   
Uncaught Exception:

The process then hangs but no window / tray icon appears.

Okay, figured it out. This is because:

a. I'm one of those weirdos using non-shadow authentication and,
b. Electron/Node stuff doesn't understand this
