Possible bug in Aqara app with T2 RGB bulb?

There seems to be a possible bug in the Aqara app when making an RGB dynamic effect in Zigbee mode (the screenshot attached).

When making a new effect and setting the brightness you can select the level as a percentage, and when previewing the effect the app/hub sends this value to the bulb as a straight integer between 1 and 100 converted to hex.

However the bulb itself uses a brightness level between 0 and 254 so this results in the effect being previewed at a dim level compared to what it should be.

When saving the effect as a scene to the bulb via the OTA firmware write process the brightness percentage value gets converted correctly to the corresponding 8 bit value and gives the correct brightness but in the effect preview mode this value conversion seems to be missing.

I noticed this when looking at packet captures of how the RGB effects work and wondering why they were so dim.
