Closed as fixed in Blender 4.1.0. (So not a Godot bug.)
For anyone interested, me and a friend made a workaround using blender empties:

We don’t really care about the technicalities, we need the hierarchy sorting for our workflow.
See https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Blender-IO/issues/1456 for recent news.
Collections in Blender are not the same as a tree hierarchy, their contents are not guaranteed to be unique (multiple collections can have the same object). They are more like tags. So I’m not sure this is possible.
