There's no known issue, but the implementation change substantially in commit:

  387d828adffcf1eb ("arm64: lib: Import latest version of Arm Optimized Routines' strncmp")

... which added additional alignment restrictions to accesses to avoid crossing
an MTE tag granule.

Using your test on v6.5-rc3 I could not trigger the issue, but I could trigger
the issue atop v5.15:
