I truly doubt this is a bug.  Can you kindly confirm which mysqld is listening on the tcp/ip port using tools like lsof, netstat, ps auxxx

You've probably got another 8.0.11 running there.   Try login using mysql client and run:  SELECT VERSION();

Check output of:

netstat -p | grep -i mysqld
for pid in $(pidof mysqld) ; do echo "lsof for pid = ${pid}"; 
echo "========================"; echo; lsof -s -p${pid}; echo; echo; done

ps auxfww | grep -E 'mysqld'
