In commit 9e52a36794552b77ecf26f7f34b226d096978f1e the split package metadata backup/restore was refactored to use declare, which actually declares variables in a local scope when in a function. This did not play nicely with debug packages, which unset most metadata variables, thereby reverting to the global scope rather than resulting in unset metadata.
Fix by explicitly marking the variables as global.
This requires bash-4.2. We released pacman-5.1 with bash-4.1 as the minimum required version. This might work: printf '%s\n' "printf -v \"$var\" \"${!var}\""
