Comment:

 Punting to WordPress 6.4. I agree that that this is an enhancement over a
 bug. I have pushed @flixos90 to add this ticket to the dev note. Header
 image not working with this new functionality ( and even older
 functionality like async decoding ), might be a little confusing. The dev
 note should include instructions on how to retrofit your theme to support
 these features and use this ticket / PR as an example.

 Marking this as early, myself as the owner and changing to WP 6.4.

 Keeping this as part of the performance focus, as adding source sets,
 decoding async and fetch priority to header images, is a performance win.
