The actual fix is in the change from

    (`(funcall . ,(or `(,exp . ,args) pcase--dontcare))

to

    (`(funcall ,exp . ,args)

which makes the pattern not match `(funcall . ,_) any more.
The explicit

    (`(funcall . ,_) form)            ;bug#53227

is then present to make sure the first change doesn't worsen the
rest of the resulting macroexpanded code.
