Amazon Alexa App / Echo Dot "Failed to authorize link code. Please try again."

This is just consumer gear, but Googling didn't turn up anything at all for the error, so here you go.

Symptoms:
Try to set up a freshly reset Echo device. When joining WiFi, you receive an error in a red banner at the top of the screen that says "Failed to authorize link code. Please try again."

Resolution:
Try from another device running the Alexa app. I tried from my wife's phone (where the Echo Dot order was originally placed) and it worked straight away.
