I have seen this before but only very rarely and mostly on Android 7.
Our packaging of the native libraries works on most devices.

I would love to get my hands on a way to drive the issue reliably.

I suggest you try adding:

   packagingOptions{
        doNotStrip "**/*.so"
   }

…to the “android” clause of the build.gradle file. That has sometimes helped in other cases.
It may result in a very large binary… you may not want to do it for all devices.
