In case you overthink instead of reading, I changed the player and not double checking some information.
I'm not over-thinking anything. I'm trying hard not to think about your logic behind having to convert formats that you claimed were being decoded correctly.

There must be an AAC encoder conspiracy taking place then.

So the standard allows for any channel combination, and if an encoder doesn't like a configuration it's the encoder's fault, except for 3.1ch because the standard that allows for any configuration doesn't allow for 3.1ch. Is that how it works?

That definitely sounds like something you just made up again. How do you explain 5.1ch? Doesn't it consist of 2 pairs of channels and two single channels? What about 4ch? Doesn't it have two single channels? Front left and right (paired channel) plus front centre and rear surround, both being single channels? According to Table 42 on page 61 of this pdf, the 4.0ch configuration definitely contains two single channel elements.
