@stephanieelliott how can I help here?

[stephanieelliott]

Oh sorry @twisterdotcom it looks like my little note didn't make it on here:

Reapplying the Bug label to get another BZ member on this while I am OOO til May 2. Thanks @twisterdotcom!

Heads up this is a regression from #39215, so no payment is actually due for this one. So the only thing left to do here is create an issue for the regression test (assuming @nexarvo determines we should create one) and then close this issue!
