This is exactly like
https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/8123

I figured I'd wait for transmission-daemon 4.1.1 to be in Debian before reporting a bug,
in case it was solved already.
But it isn't.

To reproduce:
"click on a magnet link in a browser that has transmission registered for magnet links".

It will show "Unable to add torrent".

Same problem from command line:
fragments "magnet:?xt=..."

However, copy the link, open Fragments, and it recognize the magnet link from clipboard.
