The problem was introduced by this commit in 10.5.10:

commit 81258f14323e1d1ad0203bae93bc55a30d47c1b3 (HEAD)

Author: Monty <monty@mariadb.org>

    MDEV-17913 Encrypted transactional Aria tables remain corrupt after crash recovery, automatic repairment does not work

...

    Other things:

    - Extended Aria check_table() to check for wrong (= too big) LSN numbers.

    - If check_table() failed just because of wrong LSN or TRN numbers,

      a following repair table will just do a zerofill which is much faster.

    - Limit number of LSN errors in one check table to MAX_LSN_ERROR (10).

    - Removed old obsolete test of 'if (error_count & 2)'. Changed error_count

      and warning_count from bits to numbers of errors/warnings as this is

      more useful.

I don't know whether it is a real problem or the extended check produces false positives, but in any case corruption-like errors can cause troubles for users.

REPAIR makes the errors disappear.
