Eye Dropper picks up the wrong values when sampling a filled clipping mask
I am using Mac OS 10.15.7 and am able to consistently reproduce this bug in both AI CC 2021 but as far back as AI CS5 running in Mac OS 10.6.8
When a fill is applied to a clipping mask, the eye dropper will pick up incorrect CMYK/RGB values. This is especially problematic when a pure black is replaced by a 4 color process build in the printing industry.
I would expect to eye drop the exact values applied to the object I've clicked on.

Can confirm i have this same experience consistently. I believe that even though the eye dropper picks up the wrong color (a seemingly arbitrary color), it still prints correctly, anybody else tested that?
