So, I'll bump them to 8.4.1 shortly in order to move on with the 8.4.0 release.
Why is that? Is it a feature?
It breaks e.g. the (Fedora) RPM packaging procedure…
It is unfortunately not a feature, but a regression by PR 3437 [1]. Too bad that
one slipped. Breaks current procedure for MacPorts too, but is patchable.
Is a fix urgent or is a quick 8.4.1 release necessary?

I need to add that I had tried to use (this time) the tarball from GitHub.

That's obvious.
Not to me
Why that breaks the RPM packaging procedure is not, as it uses the
tarballs from grass.osgeo.org too:
