This might mean that the issue has already been fixed in the current
development version of LibreOffice (or it behaves differently for some unknown
another reason...).

If so, this bug can possibly be closed as WORKSFORME, since it will start
working with LibreOffice 6.4.
If you want to verify this and identify the potential fix, you could do
bibisecting [1] using the "bibisect-linux-64-6.4" bibisect repository [2] and
if it was actually fixed in LibreOffice, we can possibly backport this to
LibreOffice 6.3 as well.
Alternatively, you could of course live with the workaround for now and retest
once LibreOffice 6.4 is out. What do you think?

At a quick glance, this looks rather like some linker issue to me than a bug in
LibreOffice...

Since it works for you with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3, gtk seems to be fine. It
might be some issue of the underlying Qt or KF5 libraries in connection with
your Nvidia card, but that's hard to tell as of now.
