Comment:

 [attachment:40704.diff] fixes this bug for the patch in #40263.

 I'm not exactly sure why this bug happens as it only seems to occur under
 very specific conditions. I was not able to replicate it when trying to
 write unit tests for the actual bug in `tests/rest-api/rest-server.php`.
 More eyes on this would help determining the actual cause for the problem.

 The above patch might however be already sufficient to move forward. Let's
 wait for some reviews on how to proceed here.
