Oops, commented wrong bug, here's the right one. I installed apt 1.8.1 and linux-image-unsigned-5.0.0-15-generic. With apt 1.8.0, the unsigned kernel was not protected, with 1.8.1 it was; so the pattern was properly recognized.

Keeping auto-removable linux-modules-4.18.0-14-generic package(s) because it would also remove the following packages which should be kept in this step: linux-image-unsigned-4.18.0-14-generic ... For reproduction see LP: #1795696, but running u-u with --verbose. And APT does not apply proper kernel-version based protection to it. [Test case] linux-image-unsigned should popup in the same list in 01autoremove-kernels as linux-signed-image, and should be autoremovable iff it's signed counterpart is autoremovable. [Regression potential] Not really any, it's just an additional string in the entry. The only difference really possible therefore is that the set of autoremovable packages changes and unattended-upgrades and friends might autoremove different sets of them.
