This is fixed in this PR.

[blimpich]

Not a blocker, since its likely already fixed by a PR that hasn't been deployed to staging yet, and is also not a huge bug.

I will retest this once #40351 has been deployed to staging and confirm that it is fixed.

[blimpich]

Not overdue, still waiting for that PR to be deployed to staging and ideally production before retesting this and closing.
