OK, further update: culprit seems to be fprintd. fprintd 1.90.6 is the
bad version. A 1.90.7 build is done which should fix it:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1656747

A libfprint 1.90.6 is also done, not sure if that's also needed:

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1656771

There were bug reports already that I hadn't found as I was looking for
glibc bugs:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1905667
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1905964

so, skip fprintd 1.90.6!
