To reproduce:

create a menu item of type text separator
create a menu item of type article (or something else) and set the text separator as parent
navigate to the article menu item (child)
observe the breadcrumbs

The breadcrumbs will be constructed like:
Home > > Child

The text separator text is ignored, but space for it is left in the breadcrumbs. I believe the text separator menu item should be displayed, but not linkable. It's not uncommon to use those for first level drop down menus where you don't want the menu item itself to be a link.

Could you check if the PR #7839 solve the problem?
Thanks

This has been now solved. I am also waiting for 3.4.5 version.

For those that can't wait for 3.4.5 release, the correction is simple, add echo before $item->name
