So how did it happen that GCM modes for SSH contained a fix, but ChaCha20-Poly1305 did not?

I think that's a really good question. The way this worked out is worth studying in detail. What was the process with which the AES-GCM cipher suites for SSH were developed? What was the process with which the ChaCha20-Poly1305 cipher suites were developed? How did the difference in processes lead to the difference in results? Will anybody change their process based on these results?
