I have pushed a version of initramfs-tools to my ppa that seems to fix the problem. Can IBM test it?

add-apt-repository ppa:cascardo/kdump2

It's a version for bionic. Only initramfs-tools should come from this source. kdump-tools and makedumpfile should be from bionic-updates or bionic.

After that, remove the initrd images from /var/lib/kdump/, reboot, then test the crash.

So:

add-apt-repository ppa:cascardo/kdump2
apt install initramfs-tools
rm /var/lib/kdump/initr*
reboot

After reboot:

echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
