Pkg registry issues with Pluto on Binder

Not sure where this issue belongs, but trying to track it down.

I am trying to use Pluto on Binder to load Manifest and Project files from an online repository.

When I download, activate, and instantiate these files, I get the error:
expected package QOI [4b34888f] to be registered

See this Discourse post for more details.

Not sure if this is an issue with QOi itself, Pluto on Binder, or something else?

Also, maybe I'm missing something, but shouldn't the built-in Pluto package manager be especially practical when using a Pluto notebook on Binder?

The default example notebook says, "To get packages inside binder - use Pkg!" which obviously turns off the built-in manager. Why can't Binder handle a cell of using statements and handle these with the Pluto flavor of Pkg?
