Artwork gets shifted when an artboard is resized with width and height constrained and Scale Artwork Constrained enabled
CC 2025 v29.0 introduces the long-awaited "Scale Artwork with Artboard" option. When we drag the transformation frame with the Artboard tool, the objects are scaled synchronously, and the position’s calculated properly.
However, when we start to enter the width or height of the artboard, with Constrain locked, the objects get shifted relative to the artboard after being scaled.
The problem has been confirmed on both MacOS and PC.

Release 29.0.1 on Mac OS does not fix the problem

I don't quite agree with you. If you uncheck the Lock proportions checkbox and keep the center reference point, the result will be correct.
But when the Lock proportions check box is checked, it is the corner reference point that give us the expected result. In other words, certain reference points help us avoid problems even with locked proportions.
It seems to me that the Illustrator team has not explored all combinations of such settings when using the artboard scale.

It seems that the reference point of the object is completely irrelevant.
The conditions for this bug to occur are when the reference point of the artboard is set to the center, and “Lock proportions” is enabled.----
オブジェクトの基準点はまったく関係ないようです。
このバグが発生する条件は、アートボードの基準点が中央に設定されていて、「縦横比を固定」が有効になっている場合です。 -

It is necessary to activate exactly one of the four corner reference points to transform object and same point for artboard so that it will pass without shifting. However, if any other of the remaining five reference points is active, it will cause a shift when entering a new height or width of the artboard.

This can be countered by assigning both refpoints on the same angle spot.
UPD. Refpoints may be assigned on ANY angle independently, just avoid centers
