It would be good for us to be able to isolate which of these two cases it
is, since if there is a bug with the kernel driver, that is definitely in
scope for us to ensure we fix.

To establish that this is a kernel bug, we would need to see a reproducer
for it in your existing environment that does not depend on nmcli, but is
instead reproducible using low-level iproute2 commands.
