I have the same issue with Python 3.8 / Powerline 2.8.2 / Zsh / tmux / NixOS.

My .tmux.conf:

run-shell "powerline-daemon -q"
run-shell "powerline-config tmux setup"

My .zshrc:

. $(dirname $(dirname $(readlink $(which powerline))))/lib/python3.8/site-packages/powerline/bindings/zsh/powerline.zsh

My theme:

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

# Set required options.
setopt promptsubst

# Load required modules.
autoload -U add-zsh-hook
autoload -Uz vcs_info

# Add hook for calling vcs_info before each command.
add-zsh-hook precmd vcs_info

# Set vcs_info parameters.
zstyle ':vcs_info:*' enable hg bzr git svn fossil
zstyle ':vcs_info:*:*' check-for-changes true # Can be slow on big repos.
zstyle ':vcs_info:*:*' unstagedstr "%B%{$fg[blue]%} *"
zstyle ':vcs_info:*:*' stagedstr "%B%{$fg[green]%} ✚"
zstyle ':vcs_info:*:*' actionformats "%S" "%r/%s/%b %u%c (%a)%f%{$reset_color%}"
zstyle ':vcs_info:*:*' formats "%B%c %{$fg[yellow]%}%i %{$fg[blue]%}%s:%{$fg[red]%}%b%f%{$reset_color%}"
zstyle ':vcs_info:*:*' nvcsformats "" ""
zstyle ':vcs_info:(sv[nk]|bzr):*' branchformat '%b'

PROMPT='%{$fg_bold[green]%}%* %{$fg[blue]%}%c %{$fg_bold[red]%}➜ %f%{$reset_color%}'

ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_PREFIX="git:%{$fg[red]%}"
ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_SUFFIX="%f%{$reset_color%}"
ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_DIRTY="%{$fg[red]%}%f%{$reset_color%}"
ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_CLEAN=""

RPROMPT='${vcs_info_msg_0_}${return_status}%f%{$reset_color%}'

The stash status works well, but even with closing konsole, and doing a cd back into the repository, I get the first branch.

Meanwhile I wil try re-create a problem on a docker image.

Yeah, look exactly as my problem. I also has Python 3.8.10. I tried disable all custom settings .bashrc .config.fish and it's not working nethier. Creating of new user same - doeas not fix the problem.

Actually, the deamon does track the change, disabling it fixes the segment in zsh, but vim needs to be reopened to have the branch updated.
