Fixed as of the upcoming MySQL Connector/Python 8.0.29 release, and here's the proposed changelog entry from the documentation team:

If decoding a bytearray fails, now the raw bytes or bytearray is returned
instead of raising a UnicodeDecodeError error. Thanks to Meik Milevczik
for the patch.

Thank you for the bug report.
