I'd had a quick dig yesterday, but forgot to hit send :-/
It looks like the firmware is getting upset over the ordering of
things in setting the default bitrate and the bitrate mode. Setting
the bitrate mode to the default of VBR fails (return code is ignored)
as the bitrate is 0 at that point. Setting the bitrate then fails as
the firmware default mode is "disabled" (ie specify the Qp
parameters).
Setting the bitrate is also done via the MMAL port format when
enabling the stream, so I believe it's only the setting of the default
values that fails.
I'll sort a firmware fix, but a comment here along the lines you
propose is definitely worth it.
/*
* Older firmware versions (pre July 2019) have a bug in handling
* MMAL_PARAMETER_VIDEO_BIT_RATE that result in the call
* returning -MMAL_MSG_STATUS_EINVAL.
* Ignore errors from this call.
*/
return 0;
(apologies for the formatting).

PS Is linux-rpi-kernel actually behaving for other people? I didn't
see this patch when it was submitted, and it isn't showing in the list
archive either.
