Your code with no = typo and reverting _GET to $params seems to work…

add_filter('plupload_default_params', function($params) {
  if (!function_exists('get_current_screen')) {
    return $params;
  }
  $current_screen = get_current_screen();
  if ($current_screen->id == 'user-edit') {
    $params['user_id'] = $_GET['user_id'];
  } elseif ($current_screen->id == 'profile') {
    $params['user_id'] = get_current_user_id();
  }
  return $params;
});

That is:

a) The depopulated lists issue is gone.

b) It still seems to successfully pass user_id to the uploader, allowing me to fetch the username with which to rename the file.

Now, for a bonus…

In my wp_handle_upload_prefilter function custom_upload_filter(), I should really be checking that the image upload in question is coming from the specific ACF Image field keyed field_6140a6da30a17…

Do you happen to know if the AJAX $_POST in custom_upload_filter() already has access to any information about the instigating field in question, anything which would give away field_6140a6da30a17? (I see traces of it in the uploader’s HTML).

Or would I somehow need, on user-edit.php, to a) check for its presence and b), if present, send it through the plupload_default_params function? (I presume I can stuff $params[] with multiple other values).
