Not accurately rotating elements around center of circle

I found an odd issue with rotating elements around the centerpoint of a circle. To recreate the issue:
- Create a circle
- Create a triangle with points aligned to the circumference of the circle
- Rotate the triangle around the centerpoint of the circle
Theoretically, the points of the triangle should remain aligned with the circumference of the circle. However, Illustrator is shifting the tringle off the circumference. The issue is only visible at high magnification, but causes issues when trying to create precise compound shapes.
I was able to recreate this issue across multiple machines, running Illustrator 29.7.1 and 29.8.1. No snap-to preferences are in use.
Is this user error I am overlooking, or is there an issue with how Illustrator is computing the rotation?
