 There was only 1 Trac ticket in 6.0]: #54561 / [53158]. But the call to
 parent's constructor is correct.

 Thanks for the investigation! Looks like it was most likely a consequence
 of switching to a recent PHP version and updating WordPress at the same
 time. The fatal error on PHP 7.1+ made the issue in the affected plugins
 or themes more visible, but it does not appear to be specific to WP 6.0.
