I've ran into this on my T480, it seems most consistently triggered by power cycles caused by running out of battery. The bug's existed for quite a few years (I think I first noticed it in 2019.) If I recall correctly I've posted it to the list a couple of times but I don't think any concrete answers ever emerged; your report is more thorough than mine were though. I do remember that it never happened on my T430, but that's quite the hardware gap.
