I was able to speak with folks at Intel about this and got some good
info from them:

* To avoid confusion, we need to be clear that the i7-8565U is a Whiskey
  Lake processor (*not* a Kaby Lake)
  - https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/149091/intel-core-i7-8565u-processor-8m-cache-up-to-4-60-ghz.html
* There is an upstream intel-microcode bug report that is already
  tracking this issue
  - https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files/issues/1
* The upstream bug report suggests that the problem is seen with both
  the 20190312 and 20190514 microcode releases
* This may be a bug in how the kernel is loading the microcode
