[Debian's reportbug output follows; since I obtained caja 1.28 from fedora and used alien to obtain a debian-installable .deb file,
I shall NOT be actually reporting it to debian (as obtaining software from anywhere but the debian repos is against their policy)
debian current testing/sid version: 1.26.4-1]

Using caja 1.28 under Wayland (in Sway 1.10.1 with Debian Testing).
Since Debian does not have any version beyond 1.26.xxx, I obtained this version
from Fedora, and used alien to convert the .rpm files to .deb.
Packages included:
caja-1.28.0-4.fc42.x86_64.rpm
caja-core-extensions-1.28.0-4.fc42.x86_64.rpm
caja-schemas-1.28.0-4.fc42.x86_64.rpm
Setup:
1 - select some files
2 - press the left mouse button and drag-n-drop the selection towards a
directory or tab
3 - press "ctrl"
Under 1.26 (x11-->XWayland), and under 1.28 (with "env GDK_BACKEND=x11"
prepending the call to caja in my sway config file.
1 - the expected "copy" cursor glyph (default pointer with "+" next to it) appears
2 - release the left mouse button when over the target dir/tab
3 - files appear within the target dir/tab, and remain in the source dir
Under 1.28 (standard launch ---> Wayland - no env variable)
1 - cursor glyph remains default pointer
2 - release the left mouse button when over the target dir/tab
3 - files appear within the target dir/tab, but disappear from the source dir
The same result happens whether "ctrl" , "shift" , or NO modifier key is pressed.
[Note: the "move" cursor glyph never appears, regardless of x11 / XWayland /
wayland (YES, I have a "move" cursor glyph differing from the standard
"default"/"left_ptr")]
