Comment (by swissspidy):

 This was recently discussed in #34474. Quoting @boonebgorges:

 > What seems to be breaking the query in your case is that you're passing
 `'nopaging' => false` along with `'posts_per_page' => -1`. Generally, if
 `WP_Query` sees `'posts_per_page' => -1`, it'll set `nopaging` to `true`.
 >
 > I don't think there's really anything we should do in `WP_Query` to
 account for this case, where you've passed contradictory parameters. (How
 would we decide which one you "really" meant?)
