I might have made mistakes, but when mapping the gbm_bo on that side (using gbm_bo_import and then gbm_map_bo), it appears that the buffer is empty (maybe it cannot be transferred correctly?).

That seems to confirm a kernel issue. The (unlikely) alternative is that
you've discovered a long standing bug in the dma-buf related userspace
code, which doesn't affect other platforms.
