To those you can add the frequent bug 1722597. IMHO, you should have filed three bugs, one for each console entry. The OTR library wasn't shipped initially, see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OTR, but it is now, and it's present on my system in
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird 78\libotr-5.dll
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird beta\libotr.dll

I see the second installation is 32-bit. Is the first one 64-bit?

libotr.dll is broken on win32. Opened bug 1724914 as it's a build issue.

I have dozens of Beta's installed, so I'm not sure.

I'm glad we have you Rob to figure out these issues!

I only have Windows 64bit installations. Note that win32 is really unclear, since win32 usually refers to the Windows (32?) API, I don't even know why it has 32 in the name, perhaps to distinguish it from the previous 16bit architecture. Anyway, win32 refers to a set of APIs, not hardware bit-ness.

Additional errors I'm getting (on 64-bit Linux):
