TL; DR: I am getting a strange content version info status (6) in the Symfony stack - how do I fix this?

I am having an issue with the legacy extension GWUtils ( http://projects.ez.no/gwutils ) on an eZ 5.2 enterprise edition site.

In brief, the extension allows content to be "published" at a future date, by using a datetime content attribute.
The content locations are set as hidden through a workflow event run by the after publish trigger.
A cron runs the same worklow, which on the chosen publish date will set the locations as visible.

Backend everything seems to be working:
The locations are set to hidden on publish and then to visible when I run runcronjobs.php through the console legacy script wrapper. Though when I try to view the location in the frontend, I get "403 Access Denied".

I trackied this down to eZ\Publish\Core\Repository\ContentService->loadContent(), where:

if (
    $content->getVersionInfo()->status !== APIVersionInfo::STATUS_PUBLISHED
    && !$this->repository->canUser( 'content', 'versionread', $content )
)
    throw new UnauthorizedException( 'content', 'versionread' );

It seems that the content version info status is wrong.
The following:

var_dump( APIVersionInfo::STATUS_PUBLISHED );
var_dump( $content->getVersionInfo()->status );

Yields:

    > 1
    > 6

This is bewildering, as it seems status should never be anything but (eZ\Publish\API\Repository\Values\Content\VersionInfo):

const STATUS_DRAFT = 0;
const STATUS_PUBLISHED = 1;
const STATUS_ARCHIVED = 3;
 
(…)
 
/**
 * One of VersionInfo::STATUS_DRAFT, VersionInfo::STATUS_PUBLISHED, VersionInfo::STATUS_ARCHIVED
 *
 * @var int Constant.
 */
protected $status;

Could it be a problem in the workflow?

In the workflow type's execute function, the following yields "1":

 var_dump( $object->attribute( 'status' ) );

This seems to be correct in the legacy stack, where

class eZContentObject extends eZPersistentObject
{
    const STATUS_DRAFT = 0;
    const STATUS_PUBLISHED = 1;
    const STATUS_ARCHIVED = 2;

Thinking that it might have something to do with the legacy stack, I switched this (in the workflow):

if ( $doUnhide )
{
    eZContentObjectTreeNode::unhideSubTree( $node, true );
}
else
{
    eZContentObjectTreeNode::hideSubTree( $node, true );
}

With this:

$container = ezpKernel::instance()->getServiceContainer();
$repository = $container->get( 'ezpublish.api.repository' );
$userService = $repository->getUserService();
$administratorUser = $userService->loadUser( 14 );
$repository->setCurrentUser( $administratorUser );
$locationService = $repository->getLocationService();
$location = $locationService->loadLocation( $nodeId );
if ( (boolean) $location )
{
    if ( $doUnhide )
    {
        $locationService->unhideLocation( $location );
    }
    else
    {
        $locationService->hideLocation( $location );
    }
}

But this too results in the same ominous status "6".

Any idea as to what this status means and where it is set as such?
Is it a problem in the Symfony stack, as the status in the legacy stack seems to be correct?
