Could you by any chance check if this same patch is also needed on
Linux? There now being multiple such cases makes me worry about a bug
in the GUID code.

And/or check what GUID you get on Linux, for example with sdl2-jstest
like what we have in ports (package sdl-jstest), and see if there is a
difference... Not observed with the (very limited) number of gamepads
that I did the development with, but at this point probably worth
checking.
