I just got 3 pawn returns working in a row and one of them being my own pawn succesfully returned for the first time ever.
What I did was I released the pawn and rested myself, then I told the owner of the pawn to rest immediately.
The first working pawn return I witnessed years ago went just the same way. We were both playing the game at the same time and the owner of the pawn I released rested shortly after and got his rewards.
All of these were done with GoG friends but I doubt that would be relevant.
So if anyone is still playing maybe do some tests yourself and report here if it works or not. Maybe there is a feasible workaround to the pawn return bug.
