A2.. is a valid prefix. I don't know if this error is specific to this combination. Could it be that others are falsely considered invalid too?

Mainnet 4C.. is considered invalid as well. What method is employed to determine valid vs invalid addresses?

What method is employed to determine valid vs invalid addresses?

The check goes through length check, base58 check and elliptic curve property check. The last one simply checks if the prefix can fit in [MinKey, MaxKey].
