Kindle embed loses captions on edit

Description

If I edit a post created prior to the WordPress 5.6 update, Kindle Embeds all show an error: This block contains unexpected or invalid content. If I hit the Attempt Block Recovery button, it recovers the block and keeps the caption, thankfully. So it's annoying to have to do on every single Kindle Embed block on old content, but it's not the end of the world.

However...

If I edit an existing post that was either created or updated after 5.6, the Kindle embeds all automatically refresh upon edit post pageload. (&action=edit) Not something I want to happen. It's as though their URLs have just been added, but the page just loaded, so it's not caused by something I did. Unfortunately, all the blocks refresh so fast I can't grab a screenshot except after the damage is done. After that automatic refresh, the Kindle embeds lose their captions. This has only begun happening since the most recent wordpress update 5.6 using the default Guten Kindle embed block.

See attached screenshots from same post. First editing it for the first time since 5.6 released (Recovery works). Then editing it again, which causes the Kindle Embed blocks to refresh and lose their captions.
