Question: strange result from solve. Internal leaked symbol?

Do you think this is a bug? I do not understand solve output. Will send to Maplesoft just in case.

It happens also on Maple 2022. Does it give same result on earlier versions?

eq:=1 = exp(-4-c1)/(-exp(-2*c1-8)/LambertW(-exp(-2*c1-8)))^(1/2);
solve(eq,c1)

1 = exp(-4-c1)/(-exp(-2*c1-8)/LambertW(-exp(-2*c1-8)))^(1/2)

-4-(1/2)*ln(_S000003)

PDEtools:-Solve(eq,c1)

c1 = -7/2
