Did you find any workaround?

Calling SetAttributedTitle method resolves the issue.

        var platformButton = button.Handler?.PlatformView as UIKit.UIButton;
        if (platformButton != null)
        {
            var titleLabel = platformButton.TitleLabel;
            titleLabel.Text = button.Text;

            var attributedText = titleLabel.AttributedText?.WithCharacterSpacing(button.CharacterSpacing);
            platformButton.SetAttributedTitle(attributedText, UIKit.UIControlState.Normal);
        }
