PayPal Express Checkout error "Failed address validation: %1" on Guest checkout

[kamzata]

Still present for me in Magento 2.4.7-p1 no matter if:

• Skip Order Review Step option is set to Yes or No.
• Enable Automatic Assignment to Customer Group is set or not.

This seems to solve the issue.

        ...

        public function place($token, $shippingMethodCode = null)
        {
            if ($shippingMethodCode) {
                $this->updateShippingMethod($shippingMethodCode);
            }
    
            if ($this->getCheckoutMethod() == \Magento\Checkout\Model\Type\Onepage::METHOD_GUEST) {
                $this->prepareGuestQuote();
            }
    
            $this->ignoreAddressValidation();
            $this->_quote->collectTotals();
            

            // (BUG) SET CUSTOMER EMAIL IF EMAIL IS FOUND EMPTY
            if ($this->_quote->getCustomerEmail() === null && $this->_quote->getBillingAddress()->getEmail() !== null) {
            $this->_quote->setCustomerEmail($this->_quote->getBillingAddress()->getEmail());
            // (BUG) END

            $order = $this->quoteManagement->submit($this->_quote);
    
            if (!$order) {
                return;
            }
    
            // commence redirecting to finish payment, if paypal requires it
            if ($order->getPayment()->getAdditionalInformation(self::PAYMENT_INFO_TRANSPORT_REDIRECT)) {
                $this->_redirectUrl = $this->_config->getExpressCheckoutCompleteUrl($token);
            }
            ....
