P: Premiere 25.1-color space override not sticking after relaunch

Premiere Pro v25.1, Windows 11.

Override of Media Color Space does not play after relaunching Premiere. The override setting is still retained, but in order for it to display properly, you need to toggle to an incorrect color space (eg Arri Log 3 instead of Arri Log 4) and back again for it to "wake up" and display correctly.

In this case, I have a bunch of Log footage that is ARRI LOG C4. Premiere does not auto detect it, but I can use the Override Media Color Space to manually select ARRI LOG C4 for the color to display properly in a REC 709 sequence. Everything works correctly until I close the program and restart the next session. Everything appears as LOG in the sequence, despite the setting still being retained. Toggling to an incorrect setting and back again fixes it, but this would be cumbersome on a sequence with a lot of mixed footage.
Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Thank you for checking and replying. Another thing...I'm curious as to why the media file is being misidentified as REC 709. Other software, such as DaVinci Resolve correctly reads the metadata and flags it ARRI LOG C-4. Not sure if its just because this method of color management is a new feature for Premiere and its not yet supported or if thats also a bug.
