I have already filed a ticket, maybe others need to do so as well.

…/and have received a reply, providing info that they are working on it, and to edit the autostart :

> 1. If you prefer using Wayland over X11, you have to modify the PIA GUI client auto-start file. Follow the steps below for instructions
> 
> 2. If you do NOT want to edit anything, you need to manually start the PIA client each time using the following command: XDG\_SESSION\_TYPE=X11 /opt/piavpn/bin/pia-client

I don’t know why I never thought to modify the autostart script, probably because I don’t use it myself.

Of course it works fine in Gnome’s Wayland implementation 😕
