So I managed to do more tests today and the BUG does happen with any character if it's affected by Restrictive Mind Trick while ragdolling around or standing up. As soon as those states end and the character is supposed to have its abilities available again, they will become available even if Restrictive Mind Trick is still in effect. The dodge won't refresh like this, and will stay deactivated due to Restrictive Mind Trick until its effects wear off. The sound effect and target player animations associated with Restrictive Mind Trick will also play normally until the end of its effect.
Now testing all the Dark Side Villains Abilities, only Maul's and Vader's Saber Throws can trigger this BUG. I tried every other ability, including their dodges, and none of these trigger the BUG. I even tried the Deathtrooper, but none of his abilities nor his dodge trigger this BUG. I can't be sure for all other reinforcements, nor all troopers with their multiple abilities.
This BUG is here since Obi-Wan was released, but only now we're starting to uncover how it behaves.

I think these findings should be shared with the team. Maybe it'll help them fix this once and for all.
To all players using Obi-Wan though, don't use Restrictive Mind Trick on enemies that are being pushed around, ragdolling in the air or in the ground, nor characters that are still standing up, or the most important aspect of this skill won't work, which is its effect of disabling the enemies' abilities. Also be aware to not use it as soon as Vader or Maul throw their sabers. This will increase the chances that Restrictive Mind Trick works correctly.
EDIT: To show this properly
Although it's small, you can see Palpatine being affected by Restrictive Mind Trick while fallen, and his abilities instantly become available as he stands up, and to show it I use 2 of them. There's no audio here, but the audio effect for mind trick was playing normally, and I couldn't dodge.
I got 2 more cases to add as GIFs:
Here you can see that using Restrictive Mind Trick during the saber throws will also trigger this BUG

Hi there, I see you looked into this bug. 5 years on, I am still seeing the exact same issue on PC. Is there a fix for it?
