Comment (by birgire):

 It looks like the problem could originate from {{{bulk_edit_posts()}}}
 ([https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/4.9.8/src/wp-
 admin/includes/post.php#L537 src]):

 {{{
 $current_terms = (array) wp_get_object_terms( $post_ID, $tax_name, array(
 'fields' => 'names' ) );

 }}}

 where it fetches the post format names, like "Image" or "Video".

 Then these names are added into the {{{tax_input}}} for
 {{{wp_update_post()}}}.

 But {{{wp_set_post_terms()}}} don't know how to add post formats with
 correct slug prefix.

 One suggestion could be to consider using:

 {{{
 $current_terms = (array) wp_get_object_terms( $post_ID, $tax_name, array(
 'fields' => 'slugs' ) );

 }}}

 for post formats, to fetch slugs with the correct post format prefix, like
 {{{post-format-image}}} and {{{post-format-video}}}.
