The trailing data track gets discarded in the Disc ID calculation.
See this for technical details (users don't need to know these):
https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Disc_ID_Calculation

The official style guide you are searching is this:
https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Unknown_and_untitled/Special_purpose_track_title#Data_tracks
I notice there is no indication about that on
https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Release
There is a question about that in the FAQ:
https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Editing_FAQ#Does_MusicBrainz_store_information_about_data_tracks.3F_How_should_they_be_entered.2C_if_at_all.3F

An enhanced CD with 11 audio tracks and having a data track with a video
on track 12 shows up as a 11-track release on MusicBrainz.

So when you are using libdiscid (directly or indirectly, Picard uses
libdiscid) it does the right thing. If you use something else, there
might be a bug regarding data tracks.

Please tell us if there is a place in the Documentation where you
expected this information and it wasn't mentioned or linked.
