Possible Trixie power bug?

I have noticed an interesting artifact with GoPiGo3 on Trixie, that might be a bug.

With Raspberry Pi O/S Trixie installed, using installation method “B”, shutting down the robot doesn’t work as intended.

  1. shutdown -h now causes an orderly system shutdown and after the O/S is shut down it waits for a button press to shut down the rest of the robot. This process takes from 30 to 60 seconds depending on what is running at the time.

  2. Pressing the power button causes the robot to power-down almost immediately - NOT performing an orderly shutdown with - apparently - no regard for the filesystem’s integrity or any other necessary shutdown steps.

These systems worked correctly on Buster. They do NOT work on Trixie.

Please advise.

P.S.
I am attaching a modified version of the Trixie gopigo3_power.py that duplicates the correct Buster behavior. (Ignore releasing the “running” pin until the O/S dies.)

I would appreciate if someone who knows more about this than I do would examine this and let me know if there is an “official” fix, or should I submit a pull request.
