MariaDB 11.8: can create article; cannot revise same article

I can create a new article with content (at least in Draft state, that’s my testing so for), but subsequent revisions are not possible – I see a “The article was not saved due to an error. Please try again.” error.

Notable difference to my usual setup is I’m using MariaDB 11.8, having migrated from MySQL 8.0. The database user has all available privileges granted to the database. Nothing strange in the PHP error log.

Any pointers very graciously received. Thank you.

Hmm. Weird. Anything reported in the Inspector Console or Network panes when you hit Save that might give us further clues?

Tough case, no debug information is output. It looks like the article data passes the validation, but something breaks on safe_update(). Pete, is it a live site?
