This seems to work just fine with rtorrent indeed. My download tests
(checking download starts) were stuck at 99% and suddenly finished when
I replaced the Torrent files (without touching the temporary files from
the old Torrent files).

Right, the initial Torrent files were referencing the wrong files (due
to the signing issues I encountered), so feeding your client the right
files wouldn't be enough to convince it you had the buggy files it was
expecting…
Following a green light via tails-rm@ (thanks), I've regenerated the
Torrent files without resigning anything, replaced the Torrent files on
our bittorrent server, and updated them on the website as well:

https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/commit/fef8cd8a4a9f390e20d4e3039ea22c4d6b3c0a5d
Hopefully that's it for 4.9… Maybe we should make sure downloading over
bittorrent finishes, and not only starts? (In that case, please file a
ticket against the release process doc.) Nowadays I'd imagine it would
be easier to do so than during the many releases where Torrent seeding
was broken…
Sorry for the hassle.
