Can confirm. I was one of the people who posted in the above mentioned threads.
I've just upgraded from a Milhouse build to LibreELEC 7.0.0 and the problem is back again. Same as before, Kodi can be seen registering a "Hat" and this is why each button press is registered twice. Kodi on Ubuntu registers 0 hats for the exact same controller and works fine.

Switched to Milhouse build #0515 and the controller is working fine again.
