We are facing the exact same issue, contacted support and a Senior Advisor with Apple Developer Program Support confirmed this is "unexpected behavior" and submitted a ticket with Apple's engineering team to investigate. They gave us a ticket # and said they would get back to us as soon as they have an update.
