I can't reproduce it in local VM.It might have to do something with the Contest environment.

This issue affects only RHEL 7. But, RHEL 7 end of maintenance is on 2024-06-30 which is sooner than the next upstream release. That means that any fix for this issue wouldn't get to RHEL 7. Therefore I prefer not spending time here.
