MS Teams Message Reactions not working on messages sent through Power Automate (Bug)

The designed Microsoft Power Automate Flow uses a recurring schedule and the "Post a Message in Chat or Channel" action. While testing this function in a regular chat, there was no issues with reacting to the automated flowbot messages (👍).

Once this was changed to send messages to a channel, the flowbot messages could no longer be reacted to. The option to react to the message still appeared and could be clicked on, however the reaction is not visible to other members of the channel, and once the page is refreshed it disappears.

The odd thing is, once the Power Automate Flow is set up, this same issue occurs even with regular user-created messages in the channel that could previously be reacted to. This makes me believe that there is a bug with the Channels, once they are reference via Microsoft Power Automate.

Any solutions to this issue would be greatly appreciated.
