tinderbox has reproduced this issue with version 1.350.0-r2 - Updating summary.

[Comment 5 Andreas K. Hüttel 2021-10-09 00:06:52 UTC]

The following code block in Charset/Table.pm is the problem:

    # stash away the utf8 lookup key (only if it's not already there!)
    # this means that the sets that appear in the xml file will have
    # precedence ascii/ansel.  Note that we're using 'defined' instead of
    # 'exists' because NDBM_File and ODBM_File don't support 'exists'.
    $self->{db}->{$utf8_key} = $frozen unless defined $self->{db}->{$utf8_key};


It seems like "defined" stopped working properly with GDBM files. With "exists" things are ok.
