The cause of the bug was unfortunately first determined after the
release process for 5.0.0 has started so it didn’t make it into the
final release.

Okay, I wasn’t aware of that. Unsure if that is by design or not though.
I haven’t followed the QGIS development that closely.

Sure, the fix has been committed for a long time, but that is not the same
as it being present in a released version of the software. Of course it is
possible to patch the final release by the OSGeo4W maintainers but that
has not been the case here. I haven’t felt the need to follow up on this,
apart from adding the mentioned ticket, since the new version will be out soon.
