Plugin Conflation: distance is always 0 & conflict with utilsplugin2

[hvalentim]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Compare two sets of data (one downloaded from overpass api, another a previous OSM dump).

What is the expected result?

Conflation would normally (in the past) show the distance between moved points.

What happens instead?

Conflation always shows Distance(m)=0
Nevertheless, trying to conflate two points with different geometries (moved locations) throws an exception error mentioning utilsplugin2.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

[hvalentim]

You can see that 1) the point is matched but different geometries (moved location) not recognize; 2) conflation fails with error.

I have since came to the conclusion that this only happens when comparing current data to an .osm file. It works as expected when comparing to a .geojson file (backups made from the same data at the exact same time, saved from JOSM).
