Mmm, I tested further, and I think Chris is right. I was initially
fooled by the fact that I was hearing some echo in my phone when
connecting to the same chat room with my laptop, but it appears that
echo came from the laptop’s microphone. When I walked into another room
and closed the door, talking in front of the phone’s microphone didn’t
produce any echo. Looks like the microphone is not being accessed after
all.

I’m tentatively closing that issue now, Peter feel free to re-open if
you can bring further evidence that the microphone is being accessed.
