Automation with Withering Step and Flame Dash leads to FD not gaining charges

Setup and replication:
0) Have Flame Dash socketed, unlinked; and have Withering Step socketed and linked to automation.
1) Activate Automation
2) While the buff for Withering Step is active, un-socket Withering Step. This turns off Automation and removes the buff from Withering Step

Resulting behavior:
Flame Dash will no longer gain charges. Existing charges can be used, but none will be gained.(note the Flame Dash ability on the hotbar with permenant 0 charges.)

Expected behavior:
Flame Dash should regain charges as soon as the Withering Step Gem is un-socketed

I don't know if this is a bug or just weird code. All skills that share a cooldown with others (Guard, Blink) and have the "Cooldown does not recover during its effect" mod work this way, regardless of Automation.
Either way it's (I assume) unintended behavior. CONJECTURE INCOMING: I figure it has to do with the flag for "does not recover" not being removed if the thing that set that flag is no longer there, but that's literally a guess as I don't work for them lmao.
Wonky but it makes sense. you cant normally recover flame dash charges while withering step is active. There probably isn't a check besides changing zones or logging out for flame dash. The same issue does not happen with similar skills like Frost Blink.
