Summary: digikam with exiftool backend erases XMP tags

diff of exif data before/after digikam
I tried using digikam with exiftool backend (exiftool version 12.40) -- tried
setting some photo tags, and found out that most XMP original metadata from my
photos is erased.
I dumped the metadata before and after applying changes in digikam (with
"exiftool -G") and compared the results (attached the diff as a screeenshot).
In particular it loses XMP tags like "MotionPhoto": 1, which makes me worried
that they won't be detected as motion photos after processing with digikam.
I tried setting the tag with command like exiftool instead -- and the same is
happening. I guess this is due to XMP Toolkit of exiftool not knowing anything
about the original tags the phone camera sets (original xmp toolkit is Adobe
XMP Core 5.1.0-jc003). So I imagine it's more of an exiftool issue (here's a
similar issue someone having with exiftool
https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=11901.0 ).
But I guess could be useful if digikam was a bit more explicit about removing
tags unrelated to the ones I was originally changing.
