This isn’t new to the PTR but it remains an exceptionally annoying bug, affecting certain builds far more than others, and really should be corrected so that sticky targeting can still be relied upon even with item labels shown.
Semi-related: If/when this is ever fixed, any chance of also giving us an “always on” option for options → gameplay → show items?
