Below is a patch that seems to fix this.  I haven’t tested the actual
patch but I’ve added its changed to my init file (adding the new defvar,
and redefining erc-display-message and erc-lurker-update-status) for the
last couple of days, and it seems to work as intended.

Thanks to Noam for helping me with this over on #emacs.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix erc-lurker-update-status

Fix erc-lurker-update-status (bug#36843), broken since
d0fcaff514d2be16ccf73817f658318cf85221e3.

* lisp/erc/erc.el: define `erc-message-parsed', lexically bind it in
  `erc-display-message', and change `erc-lurker-update-status' to use
  that instead of using `parsed' directly.  This results in
  `erc-lurker-state' being properly updated to keep track of
  non-lurkers, and thus `erc-lurker-p' returning correct results
  rather than return t for everyone.
