Comment:

 I was mistaken. The height of the metabox is persisted as a user setting
 in either the database or the browser's local storage. Therefore, the test
 results will vary depending on whether the metabox height has been
 manipulated.

 Technically, this issue should also occur if you perform a fresh
 installation of 6.9. The default for the metabox should be collapsed.

 I propose closing this ticket and then submitting an issue to the
 Gutenberg repo to change the default behavior of metaboxes.
