[44.rc] Crash when running a Steam game - SteamWorld Heist (regression from 43.3)

Affected version

Provide at least the following information:

Your OS and version: Fedora 38 Beta
Affected Mutter version: mutter-44~rc-4.fc38.x86_64
Does this issue appear in XOrg and/or Wayland: Wayland, Xorg not tested

Bug summary

When I try to run a Steam game SteamWorld Heist, it crashes mutter and its window looks invisible. It's a native Linux game, and worked perfectly fine on Fedora 37 with mutter-43.3. After upgrading to Fedora 38 Beta, I can no longer run it.

So far, I've seen the following:

The first attempt to start the game usually shows a game output for a second, and then mutter crashes. The game is still running, I can hear its sound, but it can't be switched into. In Overview, I can only see a transparent rectangle instead of the game window, and clicking on it doesn't switch to it, it returns back to the last window. 1b. Once, I've seen an alternative occurrence where the game window showed up as "full screen", but it was shifted 10-100 pixels to the left and bottom. So at the top and right, I see my desktop+apps. After switching to some different app, I could no longer switch back to the game (switching back and forth worked just fine with mutter 43.3).
Any subsequent attempt to run the game results in a transparent rectangle instead of the game window in Overview, can't be switched into, but no further crash of anything.

I haven't tested yet whether this affects more games.

My Steam is installed from Flathub.

Steps to reproduce

Install Steam from Flathub
Install SteamWorld Heist (a paid game)
Try to start it
mutter crashes

Relevant logs, screenshots, screencasts etc.

ABRT tells me the crash has low informational value and can't be reported. I managed to get this traceback through gdb:
