Based on https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=128557 ...that was implemented for AOO 4.1.14. Repro in LO as of 7.4.5. If there is no info in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > User Data > "First/last name/initials", looks slightly worse than described in the original AOO ticket.

Xisco Fauli committed a patch related to this issue. It has been pushed to "master": https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/7131530929d3670b8c2db7dc0c1a86c822e05660 tdf#154274: show "Unknown Author" when no name is set It will be available in 7.6.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours. More information about daily builds can be found at: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Testing_Daily_Builds Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback.
The original problem still persists. "Unknown Author" is shown now, but the original problem is _not_ solved.
Quoting (partially, with edition) from original report for AOO... Notice that: (1) There is a colon at the end of the first line/part. Keep in mind the French might require a leading space (":" is hardcoded...) and that Writer doesn't display the colon in a callout. Could the content of the callout really be misunderstood without the colon? (2) there is a superfluous space after "(" in the line describing the recorded change. The Accept or Reject Changes dialog doesn't show it. Expected result: no colon (1) and no space (2). [end quote] Potential code points (based on the original bug report for AOO): libreoffice-7.5.1.2/sc/source/ui/view/gridwin5.cxx As of LO 7.5.1.2, line 132 " " and line 134 ":\n". As I am not a developer, this might not be accurate or enough.
