Different results for SetFromUserInput() and ImportFromWkt()

[deppen8]

Expected behavior and actual behavior.

This issue was discovered while using rasterio (rasterio/rasterio#2752) but it seems to be derived from gdal.

I expected rasterio.CRS.from_user_input(my_wkt_string) to return the same result as rasterio.CRS.from_wkt(my_wkt_string) for a given WKT string.

Instead, for my input, rasterio.CRS.from_user_input(my_wkt_string) raises an error, but rasterio.CRS.from_wkt(my_wkt_string) is valid.

@snowman2 was able to replicate the error using osgeo.osr SetFromUserInput() and ImportFromWkt() (see repro below).

Steps to reproduce the problem.

Repeating the minimal example from @snowman2 ...

>>> from osgeo import osr
>>> osr.UseExceptions()

>>> my_wkt_string = """
