Bug Tracker 
I’m currently working on a major new version of the datatool package. This may take a while. Please be patient. (Experimental version available for testing.)

Description
Uppercase commands for section headings (e.g.,\Glsfmtshort or \Glsfmtlong) are not fully expanded and produce invalid PDF strings:
Package hyperref Warning: Token not allowed in a PDF string (Unicode): (hyperref) removing `\glsentryshort' on input line 11. Package hyperref Warning: Token not allowed in a PDF string (Unicode): (hyperref) removing `\glsentrylong' on input line 13.The respective PDF bookmarks only show the entry label.
The not uppercased commands work as expected.
I'm not sure if this is related in any way to #271 Bug Tracker
Is there a workaround other than using \texorpdfstring in every section heading explicitly?
MWE
Download (323B)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{glossaries-extra}
\setabbreviationstyle{long-hyphen-short-hyphen}
\newabbreviation{label}{SHORTFORM}{long form}
\begin{document}
\section{\glsfmtshort{label}}
\section{\Glsfmtshort{label}}
\section{\glsfmtlong{label}}
\section{\Glsfmtlong{label}}
\end{document}
Evaluation
I'm sorry, I've not been able to reproduce the problem, but I notice that we have slightly different versions of some packages. Both \glsentryshort and \glsentrylong are expandable so they shouldn't cause that warning. \Glsfmtshort{label} is effectively doing:
\texorpdfstring
{\Glsxtrtitleshort{label}}
{\MFUsentencecase{\glsentryshort {label}}}
where \MFUsentencecase is also expandable and defined to simply use \text_titlecase_first:n. I think there have been some changes to the LaTeX3 code that may have affected expansion of the case-changing commands.
Adding \listfiles to the start of your mwe I get:

Thank you for the fast response. You are correct that this is indeed an issue of version incompatibilities (I falsely assumed that I had the latest version). With the newest version, everything works as expected. Sorry for any inconvenience, and thanks for your support!
