When a player has non-enchanted items in their inventory and they pick up enchanted items, the enchantment glint is applied randomly to non-enchanted weapons, armor, and tools in the inventory. The glint is not present in entity form, but is persistent when picked back up. The applied glint also seems to be persistant when quitting and relogging.
I can reliably recreate this using trial vaults in a newly generated 25w15a creative world (see video.)
This also happens in a new creative world generated in 1.21.5 and updated to the snapshot.
The glint is also randomly being applied to gear in the creative menu, thought im not sure what is causing this.
I first noticed this in a survival world that was generated in 1.21.4 and updated to the snapshot. I was raiding a trial chamber and noticed that bows dropped by Bog as well as armor from Vaults had the glint despite being unenchanted.
