Cannot reproduce Moving a post removed its reactions

I had two threads that were one post only (zero replies). To merge them I selected the post of the one to be moved (the later one), checked to move the post to an existing thread (aforementioned post in a different forum node), and moved it. Afterward the reactions were gone on the one moved. PS. It was moved from a Question forum to Article, but that should not matter for reactions (both posts were moved there and the first post of the thread still has them). Also there was no data loss warning like I have seen before.

Reproduce:
Thread A and thread B exist in a Question forum with no replies, but have reactions (no votes). Move thread A to an article forum. Move thread B (as a post by ticking the post box) to thread A so they are merged. Thread B's reactions disappear.

This is not something I can reproduce.

I tried multiple variants of it and there are no scenarios I can find where reactions were lost:

We also don't really do much with reactions when moving a post. The furthest we would go is marking whether reactions are counted or not. For example if you moved a post from a visible thread into a non-visible thread then those reactions would no longer "count" towards user totals, but the reactions themselves wouldn't be removed, it just affects a user's reaction score.

Unless there's some nuance to this that isn't covered in post #2, then there must be something else at play here. Let us know if it happens again or something else comes to mind.
