Not possible to clear notification (mark as read)

Unsure about version affected, the error happened in Area51, so that will tell the version.

I have the following situation:

1. I have a notification in my received notifications, it is active, so the number of active notifications shows as "1" . I open the notifications dropdown and mark it to be cleared. It clears, but when I reload the page, there it is again the same notification, active again.
2. Then I go to the UCP to manage notifications, get on the list of active notifications, select this one, and click on "Mark read", and I get a nice php error:
   {{[phpBB Debug] PHP Warning: in file [ROOT]/vendor/symfony/dependency-injection/ContainerBuilder.php on line 481: strtolower() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

}}
For context, the notification is a "Report closed" notification.
