Modifying a slot content disconnects the entire instance from its main component

I’ve got components with slots in it and componetized for design file efficiency. Instances work great at first, updates to the main component cascade as expected. But the moment I edit the content inside a slot on an instance, the entire instance disconnects from the main component. Not just the slot. So any future updates from the main component stop cascading to that instance, and the only fix is a full reset which removes the slot content I just customized. 

Expected behavior 
I would expect that the modifying slot content is treated like any other override (e.g. text or swap overrides). It should not disconnect the entire instance from the main component updates.

Is this a known limitation? I would love to hear if there is a workaround or if this is planned for improvement!

Same here! Our entire design system is built around slots and depends on them, so this issue currently makes it completely unusable for us.
