Dragging a rectangular Object-mask selection (faintly visible) around the original Polaroid image:
results in a bad mask:
Apparently, the AI algorithm gives more weight to the higher-contrast outer border edges in the cropped-out area of the photo than to the inner border edges within the crop.
Exporting the cropped photo and then making the same rectangular Object-mask selection gives perfect results:
