Incorrect application listed for Elite Dangerous in Game Pass library under "My games & apps"

Hi all, I noticed this while browsing through the Game Pass library a few minutes ago.

If you go into the Game Pass app on the Xbox and view the list of games, you'll find Elite Dangerous Standard Edition available to download. However, if you go to My games & apps » Full library » Xbox Game Pass, you'll find Elite Dangerous Core listed.

Selecting the tile brings up the Game Card for Elite Dangerous Core, which says in its description: "The Elite Dangerous Core controls the flight simulation and physics behind all Elite Dangerous titles, and is not a separate or playable game."

Elite Dangerous Standard Edition is not listed in the "My games & apps" library at all, even though it should be.

When viewing the Game Card for the Standard Edition via the store or the Game Pass app, you can see that the Core is one of three separate items installed with that edition of the game, the other two being the actual gameplay stuff. Installing the Core component from the "My games & apps" library does not install the Standard Edition of the game (I tried installing it and the main game content did not begin installing, only the Core).

I believe this issue started fairly recently, although I can't pinpoint exactly when. I had previously seen Elite Dangerous Standard Edition in the library view but I'm not sure when the last time I saw it was. I'm on Skip Ahead and unfortunately not sure if this is issue is an Insider build problem or if it affects current public builds.

Has anyone else seen this issue? Does anyone have more information on when it happened or if it's an Insider issue or affects public builds? It's not a huge deal for me, I don't even play the game, but it did confuse me and I'm sure it will confuse other people, too.
