P: Exporting EXIF with high "Transform" value

I just encountered a weird thing. My website complains with just TWO out of many photos I posted (JPG from LR), that it can't read the EXIF data. Looking with IrfanView, there are no EXIF data in these two (they got exported in one batch with all the others).
I noticed that these two photos are heavily transformed (Vertical -65), whereas all the others, that got some transformation (not all but quite some) don't have such high values and got exported with their EXIF. So. I played around with the vertical value and found out, that the EXIF data gets exported up to the value -39 and from -40 on it's missing. Reproducible.

Since two people couldn't reproduce it, I tried again, and it just went as described: -39 - EXIF - yes, -40 - EXIF nopes.
So, since I tried those two pictures that caused the trouble in the first place, I thought, let's try another one. I selected some random picture, that I did not export previously. There I couldn't reproduce it! I even copied with "Previous" the changes I've made to that selected photo.
So somehow it must be that RAW together with the vertical transform setting.

I could provide the RAW and the end result, yes. How? Should I upload it to my server and provide a link?

What are your steps to reproduce the bug? Are you using some ftp publish service? What are the export settings? Could you share a raw file and the associated imp?

Windows 10.1903 Enterprise
Lightroom Classic 9.0
The source files are Canon CR2 with 50 megapixels.
I could reproduce it several times without fail. So, I am a bit surprised.

I have not been able to reproduce either using LrC 9.0 and Win 10 -1903.  The information Tom requests might help us duplicate your issue.

I haven't been able to reproduce it in Lr 9 on Win10 with any of my raw or jpg originals.
What version of Lr & OS are you running?
What are your originals - raw, jpg, from what camera, etc?
Are you having the same issue with images from other cameras/formats?
Are you sure you don't have an export preset or plug in that's set to remove the metadata?
