Close this as a "Could not reproduce." Reverse search works now. Thank you!
Console.app reports "Unable to find or load synctex or pdfsync file.". So I got worried that my path was strange (it has a @ symbol in it..). I moved the project around. It started working. I moved it back to the strange path. And now it works. With the default VSCode setting (using 'open vscode:// etc' ) I must have made some stupid mistake before. Don't know what. But now it works. Thank you! I suppose the message in Console.app nudged me into doing it all again, and even more carefully.
