Same issue here since the 4.8.3 update, except I have not found a workaround.

    $args = shortcode_atts( array(
		'post_type' => 'my_menu',
		'post_status' => 'publish',
		'posts_per_page' => '-1',
		'orderby' => 'menu_order',
		'order' => 'ASC',
		'season' => '',
		'menu' => '',
		'section' => '',
		'section_title' => '',
		'subtitle' => '',
		'meta_query' => '',
    ), $atts );
    
    // Get any parameters from the shortcode call
    $season = $args['season'];
    $menu = $args['menu'];
    $section = $args['section'];
    $section_title = $args['section_title'];
    $subtitle = $args['subtitle'];

    // Add query args based on ACF
	if ( function_exists('get_field') ) {
	    // Season (checkbox)
	    $season_array = '';
		if ( $season != '' ) {
			$season_array = array(
				'key'		=> 'season',
				'value'		=> $season,
				'compare'	=> 'LIKE'
			);
		}

	    // Menu (repeater)
	    $menu_array = '';
		if ( $menu != '' ) {
			$menu_array = array(
				'key'		=> 'menu_repeater_%_menu',
				'value'		=> $menu,
				'compare'	=> 'LIKE'
			);
		}
		
	    // Section (checkbox)
	    $section_array = '';
		if ( $section != '' ) {
			$section_array = array(
				'key'		=> 'section',
				'value'		=> $section,
				'compare'	=> 'LIKE'
			);
		}
		
		// Output meta_query args
		$meta_query = array(
			'relation' => 'AND',
			$season_array,
			$menu_array,
			$section_array,
		);

		$args['meta_query'] = $meta_query;
	}

If I remove $menu_array from the $meta_query array, the query works (but retrieves more posts than I want, obviously). I have tested different keys for $menu_array, but nothing works.
