Hahaha. Two years later. New phone. Same unhelpful error message when I restore Microsoft Authenticator, and my Bing search brought me back to my own post from two years ago.

At least this time I can follow the steps to solve the problem. But now I have 12 Microsoft work and personal accounts to restore. So the next couple of hours are going to be a tedious set of authentication steps.
