I tried to get this fixed by lodging a bug - https://github.com/opnsense/core/issues/3328, but clearly the person who picked it up had no clue and I don't have time to waste going in circles.
While it all looks nice with a new frontend compared to pFSense .. at least pFSense just worked as expected.
