CRS not written to file

Description

With QGIS 3.4.2 and 3.6.0, but not with 3.2.3:
When writing a vector layer to file, the CRS is not written, depending on the driver.
It happens with GPKG and GeoJSON but not with ESRI Shapefile.

Example:

error = QgsVectorFileWriter.writeAsVectorFormat({

... layer:layer, # layer in epsg:4326
... fileName:"layer_54009",
... fileEncoding:"utf-8",
... destCRS:QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem(54009),
... driverName:"GPKG",
... onlySeleted:True
... })

error0 == QgsVectorFileWriter.NoError

True

File layer_54009.gpkg|layername=layer_54009 is written to disk with the correct geometries (transformation from WGS84 to Mollweide is done) but has undefined CRS.

The same problem happens with all algorithms I've tested, including "qgis:definecurrentprojection" and "native:assignprojection", which is really annoying.
