When EEVEE is set as the renderer the HDRs stored in the thumbnail dropdown don’t render as they should. They still behave as they do in material preview(lookdev) - that is, completely blurred. This is obviously hardcoded into lookdev mode, but it has carried over to EEVEE as the renderer. Cycles renders the dropdown hdr preset background as expected. This is only an issue using the thumbnail dropdown hdr presets. Plugging an environment background node in works as it always did. Images below are rendered from the prest hdr dropdown.
