The issue is that the new background building of the RTree of GeoPackage files introduced in 3.6.0 didn't work well with committing transactions in between, which is easily triggered by ogr2ogr. All features were inserted but with default settings ~ 10% of them lacked an entry in the spatial index, which can be enough to break interactive display and workflows relying on spatial filtering. When using ogr2ogr, I believe the issue can only be seen when creating layers with more than 100 000 features, since that's the default value for the interval at which transactions are committed.
