Turns out I was wrong about that, and it’s probably an issue with the reporting tool (Tautulli) reporting SDR. When I went in and manually ran ffprobe on the transcode session, I see Main 10, bt2020, and DOVI side data.
Example command with output:
$ cat "/tmp/plexmediaserver/Transcode/Sessions/plex-transcode-55406e9250c6872c-com-plexapp-android-ee9bf900-b76e-41b3-b663-56d283583cc4/header" "/tmp/plexmediaserver/Transcode/Sessions/plex-transcode-55406e9250c6872c-com-plexapp-android-ee9bf900-b76e-41b3-b663-56d2835

The garbling issue for Android automatic quality still stands, but otherwise ignore me on the HDR side; that looks fine!
