Microsoft Loop task list is not syncing with Microsoft Planner

After opening Microsoft Planner from a task list on a Loop page, the plan appears to connect properly to Microsoft Planner. However, after making changes between the two, the plan eventually stops syncing changes correctly. Both buckets were created first in Microsoft Loop (as per the instructions from Microsoft), but the after making changes back and forth between Planner and Loop, the two are no longer in sync with one another.

Task list in Loop:

Task list in planner:

As you can see, the item Task 2 List Bucket 2 has an assignee in Planner but this has not synced over to Loop. Additionally, I've moved the item Task 1 List 1 Bucket 1 from bucket 1 to bucket 2, and then back to bucket 1, but this is not reflected in Loop either. It's been over an hour since the changes and it doesn't appear to have corrected itself.

Is there a way to force the sync between the two that I'm not seeing? Or is this just a bug that hasn't been squashed?

It's a shame because I was looking forward to using Loop for coordinating some project work, but if users try to make use of the synchronization between Loop and Planner they will be quite upset and I don't want to deal with it.

    Same here. Original task list created in Loop. Lots of tasks then copied/pasted into different buckets in Planner (as it's easier in bulk than Loop). Whole swathes of tasks then only show in Loop as empty tasks.
