Ventura 13.1 Allow In the Background (in .bundle)

Hello, we are running a LaunchDaemon by creating a symlink into a .bundle which contains the plist.

On 13.0 the LaunchDaemon was added to the "Allow In the Background" list within "Login Items". After upgrading to 13.1 beta (and the 1st reboot) the item disappears from the list. A log message indicates the error: kLSNotAnApplicationErr. After the next reboot, our LaunchDaemon is no longer running, rendering our installation nonfunctional.

Do background applications (or the plist they reference to) need to be .app bundles from now on?
