DialogKey failing in particular windows in conjunction with ElvUI #30

Description

This only happens with ElvUI enabled, so feel free to disregard (especially if you're busy with Midnight launch stuff!). But it's pretty popular, so I figured I'd just pass along the info that I have in case you wanted to troubleshoot further. Not sure if ElvUI is doing something wrong, or if this is just an incompatibility, or what... Do what you will with this info (including throwing it in the garbage can as Not Your Problem).

I've been rotating through alts to use up valorstones before they disappear, and I've noticed a consistent lack of DialogKey functionality with a particular NPC. No LUA errors or anything, and I'm not sure why this one NPC would behave differently than most. I have definitely noticed this problem in other situations, but they're usually one-offs and I ignore it. I hadn't really noticed any as consistent / easily reproduced as this case, so I figure this presents an opportunity to narrow down the cause.

NPC is Vaskarn in the Mythic Aspirations building in Dornogal (51.92, 42.21)

Interestingly, it works if I close the window and re-open it. But I can consistently reproduce it by reloading.

It also fails on the follow-up quest:

This has been consistent across ~7 or 8 alts today. Something is up, and I don't have the debugging skills to determine exactly what. Best I can do is pass along the info I have.

I disabled all other addons, and yours works perfectly. If I enable nothing else but ElvUI, it fails for the first render of the window.

Again, your addon works perfectly on its own, so don't feel like you need to do anything. (But if you wanted to diagnose, it would certainly be appreciated!).

Here's an /fstack with the cursor over the quest option, in case that's helpful. Please ignore the UI mess, mine is looking awful normally but it's 100x worse with addons disabled... though I did also have BlizzMove re-enabled at this point just so I could see what I was doing (I have eye problems).:

This is in the failure mode:

And this is after re-opening the window and it being in a functional mode:

The only significant difference I'm seeing at a glance is a
"SpellActivationOverlayFrame" missing from the non-working state.

Let me know if I can help with anything further; I will probably still have this quest available on an alt or two for another day or two.
