Answer 1

The documentation implies that my original solution should work.

When a user uses the Back button from a deep link destination, they navigate back up the navigation stack just as though they entered your app from the app’s entry point.

In addition, ianhanniballake's answer doesn't produce expected results (the deeplinked fragment is not opened).

I have created an issue on google's tracker for both these problems: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/79734195
