It was not reported in 2019, it was reported in 2020.
The bug did not affect Ubuntu 20.04 at GA release time. The bug was noticed and escalated only once there was an SRU of glibc in focal-updates newer than what was on the release media, and took time to fix in apt.
There has not yet been a point release of focal with this fixed version of apt. It will be included in 20.04.2 which will be released in 2 weeks.

It is marked fixed in apt. It is not marked fixed in ubuntu-cdimage.
The bug is fixed in daily images of focal, but these are not recommended for general use as they have the -proposed pocket enabled which is not the case for release images.
