I'm set up to default my own address in the Bcc field on
all messages. On an original message, deleting my address
from Bcc clears the Send button; on a reply, nothing
clears it. In either case, I cannot actually send a
message, even when the Send button appears enabled, as
Send does nothing.
What exactly do you mean by "I'm set up"?
If a compose an original new message to
not-myself-but-to-valid-email-address and add myself to
"Bcc" I can send out such an email no problems, "Send"
button is available.

There are no such files. However, starting to enter an
address that I know was in the address book is
auto-completed, so it would appear the address book data
is still there somewhere; it just can't be browsed or
searched or otherwise seen by human eyes.
Having downgraded Thunderbird to version 78, I can now
send messages; address auto-complete fails, so the address
book data would appear to be inaccessible. Perhaps
version 91 did some conversion on the old address book
that can't be reversed by downgrading.
