Adobe Bridge can't handle XMP-GIMP metadata

I'm trying add Creator to metadata of group of TIFF photos which are edited with GIMP. Now Adobe Bridge also add same Date Taken to EXIF to all those photos which Date Taken is in first photo.

Adobe Bridge is damaging date taken field.
Version 14.0.1.137
Those files are created with GIMP 2.10.36

I see that this bug is only when I edit metadata of files which are edited with GIMP. If I remove all "XMP-GIMP" metadata with Exiftool then there is no this bug anymore. So seems that Adobe Bridge can't handle correctly files which include XMP-GIMP metadata.

This bug has been in Adobe Bridge for weeks. I noticed the bug today. I have now thousands of files with wrong Date Taken in EXIF.

Way to repair those files is Exiftool command:
"exiftool "-datetimeoriginal
