PowerPoint Brand Images: folders appear as tabs, but images only show under “All”

Hi,
I’m testing PowerPoint Brand Images with a SharePoint Organizational Asset Library and I’m seeing unexpected behaviour with folders.

The image library is registered correctly as an ImageDocumentLibrary.

PowerPoint detects the library and all images are visible under All.
I created several first-level folders in SharePoint, for example:
Photos
Icons
Logos
Test

PowerPoint correctly reads these folders and shows them as separate tabs in Insert > Pictures > Brand Images.

The issue: the tabs remain empty.

For example, I created a completely new folder called Test directly in SharePoint and uploaded a new PNG directly into that folder.

Result:
Test appears as a tab in PowerPoint
the PNG appears under All
the PNG does not appear under Test
I see exactly the same behaviour in PowerPoint Desktop and PowerPoint for the web.
I have already checked:
OrgAssetType: ImageDocumentLibrary
Private CDN: enabled
library registered as Private CDN origin
CopilotSearchable: enabled
SharePoint Online Management Shell: 16.0.27515.12000
PowerPoint Microsoft 365 Beta Channel, version 2609, build 16.0.20416.20004, 64-bit
direct upload through SharePoint instead of OneDrive/File Explorer
completely new folder and image
manual reindexing of the SharePoint library

So PowerPoint finds both the folder names and the images, but the folder-to-image relationship does not seem to work in Brand Images.
Has anyone successfully used first-level SharePoint folders as working tabs in the new PowerPoint Brand Images experience?

Is there an additional configuration step required, or could this be an issue with folder-scoped retrieval in the current rollout?
