Comment:

 Thanks @krupajnanda!

 I did some additional digging and it seems that the problem is not in core
 WP but in the Harper extension for Firefox. I was using a version from
 this tree: https://github.com/Automattic/harper/tree/v0.51.0. Once I
 disabled the extension this additional content stopped being appended to
 the posts when switching between the editors.

 I tried it in a fresh new WP install of 6.8.2 with only one additional
 plugin installed and activated - Classic Editor.

 Though I was able to recreate what @vishalmori showed in his example, I
 think that's an entirely different issue.

 Closing this ticket as invalid for WordPress core.
