Premiere Pro Video Limiter doesn't clip pixels below 0 or above 100 IRE

The old Video Limiter (Legacy) properly held IRE levels to between 0 and 100 IRE (or however you set it).
The current Premiere Pro (Ver 23.6.0) Video Limiter looks just fine on the Lumetri scopes. But after export, there are STILL pixels below 0 and above 100 IRE. And it doesn't matter whether the limiter is on the clip in the timeline, or on an adjustment layer above.
Take the exported file, plunk it back into a fresh timeline, and all those out-of-range levels are still there.
You're audio folks understand what a limiter is — no signal goes beyond (signal limit goes here).
I understand that the YouTubers and TikTokers of the universe don't give a pixel about IRE levels. But those of us in the broadcast world — you know, your original customers — NEED to have functions that, well, function. Otherwise, our content doesn't get broadcast, and we don't get paid.
We need a Video IRE Limiter that CLIPS the signal to the correct level and doesn't just fudge some compression and call it a day.
(The attached screen cap shows the IRE levels AFTER export using the video limiter — then re-imported into a blank Premiere timeline.)
