This doesn't answer the question In normal circumstances it should blink every time you close the battery door.
You wrote that it will blink when closed and won't when you open... but what if you close it again?
To answer the question, it does not blink every time I close/open the battery door. Only the first time and it does not blink when I open it.

It is still possible, but unlikely that battery is dead. I had LP-E6 reporting fully charged that was really dead-dead in the past.
If you have any friend with another camera that runs LP-E6 / LP-E6N, borrow one and try. This is the most common Canon battery right now.
All the symptoms so far points to potential hardware failure. Your description and camera behavior ( + fact that roms run in QEMU) suggests that this may be power switch related, and it started misbehaving when it powered off on you.
Thank you for your help kitor. I will test both of these as soon as possible (covid permitting) and report back to the thread.
