I tried this old report, using a recent ejabberd, and it works
correctly. Maybe the problem was related to some old bug?
For testing I set your hosts in /etc/hosts and the erlang node names
in ejabberdctl.cfg, to obtain a scenario similar to yours.
Some output, in case it gives some clue:
❯ ejabberdctl mnesia-change-nodename ejabberd@smaug
ejabb...@jabber.kot-begemot.co.uk /tmp/e/ejabberd.backup
/tmp/e/ejabberd.restore
* Checking table: 'roster'
+ Checking key: 'ram_copies'
+ Checking key: 'disc_copies'
+ Checking key: 'disc_only_copies'
- Replacing nodename: 'ejabberd@smaug' with:
''ejabb...@jabber.kot-begemot.co.uk''
...

❯ ls -la

-rw-r--r-- 1 badlop badlop 23748 de set. 15 16:19 ejabberd.restore
❯ ejabberdctl registered_users localhost
❯ ejabberdctl restore /tmp/e/ejabberd.restore
❯ ejabberdctl registered_users localhost

By the way, a quick and dirty alternative is to not bother changing
the mnesia backup nodename, instead tell the new erlang node to use
the old node name (using ejabberdctl.cfg ERLANG_NODE)
