I've checked this on D-Bus level, and notifications-notify is sending
everything as expected.

I don't know what you're running on "ubuntu". I'm running Fedora 36,  and
this behaves exactly when invoking the notification from the shell. Try

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# notify-send -A a=aa -A b=bb -A c=cc -A d=dd -A e=ee "only show aa bb cc" "d e are missing" 
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The server itentifies itself by the following Lisp snippet:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(notifications-get-server-information)
("gnome-shell" "GNOME" "42.3.1" "1.2")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I would say that the limitation is in the notification server. Not an
Emacs problem.
