Thank you very much for reporting this!
I was able to reproduce the issue, identify the cause, and fix the certificate installation problem. The fix will be included in the next release.
I then went through the entire flow from start to finish in root mode to validate everything properly. The issue no longer occurs, and I did not run into any other problems during the full test.
Your report also helped me find several other bugs related to the web server, which have also been fixed.
I had never really used this feature myself before, and when it was originally implemented, my tablet was not rooted yet, so I had not been able to fully test this part under real conditions.
Thanks again for taking the time to report the issue. It helped me catch several problems that would probably have gone unnoticed otherwise!
