Right. We could handle this multisample resolving internally so please
do file a bug report for this. I also want to add a framebuffer blit
framegraph node for 5.9 too as this has other uses outside of RenderCapture.

What setup are you using? Qt QUick in charge + a Scene3D or pure QT 3D
application? What is the default format you get in this case?

Yes please :)
Thanks for investigating!
