This is similar to #55736 - It's not an AOT compiler problem, it's a problem in the libraries not using [UnmanagedCallersOnly] or [MonoPInvokeCallback] to tell the AOT compiler that a managed function will be passed to native code and invoked from there.

This particular issue looks like it was fixed by #52192 which switched from passing lambdas to the native method, to using unmanaged function pointers.
