Hello,

For anyone interested, Electrum does have support for BIP39 recovery,
which I previously didn't realize ;-)

Also, libbitcoin explorer's (bx) BIP39 support handles them in a
similar way to Electrum as described below.

See the "unknown dictionary" example:

Electrum mnemonics are not based on BIP39, which is why it can do
this.
