Stroke is broken for multiple subpaths per shape layer

Red is an example of multiple open-ended subpaths in a single shape layer.
Green is an example of a single open-ended subpath in a single shape layer.

As you can see: multiple sub-paths completely break dashing.

This may be related to another issue:

Upper version is a single open-ended sub-path on a single shape layer
Lower version are two open-ended sub-paths on a single shape layer. The shapes seems to act as though it were closed, however: it's not actually closed. There are no edges linking the end vertices of that path, and likewise, the triangle is constructed of 3 verts and 2 edges - the bottom-right edge shouldn't exist.

Correct. That's what I meant by "multiple subpaths per shape layer"

Problem is not visible with only one path or subpath on my side, it appears when second subpath is drawn on existing shape layer.

A clearer illustration of the self-closing symptom when multiple subpaths exist on a shape layer:

 

 

Note that the red is the actual path, and the blue is the stroke that results.

 

 

This is really hampering my workflow.

Confirming that is reproducible here on V25.0 and Windows 11
