It seems this bug is related to an upstream bug [1] reported against mesa 24 which affects Radeon graphics cards. I applied the patch from the upstream bug report and did a local package rebuild with mesa 24.0.2. This resolves the issue for me. Arch Linux uses the same patch in combination with mesa 24.0.2 [2].

I opened a MR to solve it in Fedora: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mesa/pull-request/47 A MR has not being opened upstream to solve this issue. I'll keep an eye on the issue to update the patch if required.
