 I'm preemptively opening this in case anyone wonders why this is
 happening.

 This will be fixed with the next release, assuming #28685 is solved. The
 new preferences weren't copied because the app didn't detect it was
 updated because the buildid didn't change since the previous release. This
 was partially solved in #28640, but it wasn't entirely solved.
