Maybe a useful information: Paraview 5.12 has been released in Arch Linux and the problem is still here. I think Arch Linux developers are not that keen on using the internal version of the package libraries in general. In our case the internal version is expat 2.5 but the Arch Linux package build is linked against the expat system version (2.6.1) which causes the bug.
