The exception is thrown when getting the RBAC hierarchy - getHierarchy() in Yiisoft\Rbac\Db\ItemTreeTraversal\CteItemTreeTraversal
The exception message identifies an illegal mix of collations (utf8mb4_general_ci,COERCIBLE) and (utf8mb4_bin,NONE) for operation 'trim'. I am not using either of these collations.
I have tried utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci (preferred) and utf8mb4_general_ci at the DB, table, and column level; both give the same result.
Current Workaround
I can get RBAC to work by setting the collation of the child column in the rbac_item_child table to utf8mb4_bin.
If this is a requirement, that's fine, but the requirement should be documented.
