> Could this be backported to 6.8?
I doubt that would ever be backported - older versions of WordPress (like
6.8) are not really supported any more, they only receive updates for
critical bug fixes.
If you really want that fixed in 6.8, you could probably just replace the
file `class-wp-image-editor-imagick.php` with the new version from 6.9:

develop/refs/tags/6.9.4/src/wp-includes/class-wp-image-editor-imagick.php
