Unit models not updating on switching targets [v2.18.2]

Describe the bug

Using the built in "Show model of unit" setting for a model aura, will not update a "target" model when switching directly from one target to another in Classic WoW. However, it appears this will work if the aura was made in Retail, then exported to a string and imported into Classic.

Here is an aura made in classic.
And here is one that was made in retail.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior in Classic WoW:

  1. Create a new [Model] type aura
  2. Check [Show model of unit].
  3. Optionally check [Portrait Zoom] - it does not appear to make a difference
  4. Set model file to [target]
  5. Create a trigger: [Status] > [Unit Characteristics] > [Target]
  6. Target an NPC or player
  7. Without dropping target, target a different NPC or player with a different model
  8. The model should not update when switching targets

Then, repeat steps 6-8 using the aura that was made in Retail, linked above. The model should update correctly, though you may need to re-set the model file to [target] after importing.

Screenshots
After some discussion in the WA Discord, user "Spaten" linked this screenshot, which seems to detail the exact issue, highlighting the difference between the two auras:
