I would raise a ticket for this with Support via the Microsoft 365 Admin Centre
It seems this isn't an isolated incidence, same thing has been flagged here on this uservoice

And there are several uservoices open to be able to kill the meeting when it is finished

Encountered a similar problem today. 1 participant would not (could not) leave the meeting, so the meeting remained open in Teams.
My solution/workaround: As organizer/host, I was able to re-join meeting, pull up the participants tab on right side of screen, right-click and kick-out the zombie participant. Then, as I was the only one left in the meeting, I closed my connection and the meeting 'ended' in teams.
