Can't say anything about the particular bug (haven’t touched 10.4.x yet), but wanted to comment on your configuration. If everything is UTF8 imo a more simple way to "force" particular character set is to do this way:

[mysqld]
character-set-server = utf8mb4
collation-server  = utf8mb4_unicode_ci
skip-character-set-client-handshake


So the server ignores what the clients sends and you don't need to do 'SET NAMES .. ' on every connect (for example on older php versions/mysql binaries the default charset was 'latin1' and if the programmer forgot to add 'set names' query could mess up the db).
