Yeah not sure, I'll try running this on home assistant core tomorrow, you might want to try adding patch.name: false to your service call, that should disable the custom name patching functionality, which could be what's breaking here. It's a monkey patch at runtime so definitely possible to break between versions.

service: auto_backup.backup
data:
  patch.name: false

I get an error:

Anyway I think the problem is in core/ZHA. Other users reported issues with ZHA not releasing its db for backup.
