Do you have a short recipe for creating the branches to reproduce this
behavior? Here's my (failed) attempt:
# create repository
git init -q /tmp/repo
cd /tmp/repo
# create branch a
echo a >a
git add a
git commit -q -m a
git branch a
# create branch b
echo b >b
git add b
git commit -q -m b
git branch b
With that done Git v2.34.1 gives me the output you expect:
$ git switch a
Switched to branch 'a'
$ git name-rev $(git rev-parse HEAD) --name-only
a
$ git switch b
Switched to branch 'b'
$ git name-rev $(git rev-parse HEAD) --name-only
b

a
This is expected because @{-1} means the branch/commit checked out
before the current one.
What does "git rev-parse HEAD" return for you in each case? Do your
branches perhaps have the same HEAD commit?

I guess you use LTS releases, i.e. jammy (22.04) and bionic (18.04)?
bionic shipped with Git 2.17.1 according to https://packages.ubuntu.com/
