Oracle 19c, PDB has invalid MDSYS objects

AndyHJul 23 2021

We have a 'newish' 19c database that was almost entirely populated by moving pluggable databases from our 12c instance to the new one.
These pluggables are working well.
A new pluggable was created on the 19c, this appeared to be fine and has worked well for an extended period of time until we tried to use some spatial functionality. We then discovered that the MDSYS objects were invalid:

OBJECT_NAME   OWNER   OBJECT_TYPE
__________________________ _________ _______________
SDO_INDEX_METADATA     PUBLIC  SYNONYM
USER_SDO_INDEX_METADATA  PUBLIC  SYNONYM
ALL_SDO_INDEX_METADATA   PUBLIC  SYNONYM
USER_SDO_INDEX_INFO    PUBLIC  SYNONYM
ALL_SDO_INDEX_INFO     PUBLIC  SYNONYM
SDO_JOIN          PUBLIC  SYNONYM
SDO_PQRY          PUBLIC  SYNONYM
USER_SDO_INDEX_METADATA  MDSYS   VIEW
ALL_SDO_INDEX_METADATA   MDSYS   VIEW
USER_SDO_INDEX_INFO    MDSYS   VIEW
ALL_SDO_INDEX_INFO     MDSYS   VIEW
MDPRVT_IDX         MDSYS   PACKAGE BODY
SDO_IDX          MDSYS   PACKAGE BODY
SDO_TUNE          MDSYS   PACKAGE BODY
SDO_UTIL    MDSYS  PACKAGE BODY
SDO_JOIN    MDSYS  FUNCTION
SDO_PQRY    MDSYS  FUNCTION
PRVT_PC    MDSYS  PACKAGE BODY
SDO_PC_PKG   MDSYS  PACKAGE BODY

We can't recompile these objects as this has to be done from the root container, but that container doesn't have any errors! If we do recompile the object in the root no errors are reported. However, if we then go to the pluggable "sho err" will show errors for the object.
What's going on and how can we fix it?!?
