Fallback for not existing references does not work since 20.4

Aspose.Slides Product Family

we are using on old Templatete with a formular in a pie chart like this
=‘C:\Users\someone\Desktop[NM v2 - Values.xlsx]M&A’!F42

This is saved in pptx like this
‘[1]M&A’!F42Structure’[1]M&A’!G420.5

The Aspose.Slides 20.3 and older shows always the Fallback Value “Structure”.

Now since 20.4 and in the current Version 21.6 we got the following error:
The cell ‘Sheet1’!A2 contains an unsupported formula.

This happens on save Methed
Presentation FPres
…
FPres.Save(ms, SaveFormat.Pptx);
