Image cropped in Photo un-cropping in Publisher .pdf output

[Carnivorous Tofu]

New to Affinity, so as a practice run and it being the Christmas season, I'm doing a re-layout/brush-up of an old public domain version of a Christmas Carol (from US Library of Congress) to fit tablets as a .pdf.  For the text, I just pulled a public domain version .txt file, then placed it into a text frame and created new linked frames as needed.

For each image, I was just going to import the .pdf page into Photo, crop and clean-up, save as a Photo format, and place into Publisher.

Cropped the image. Saved in AffinityPhoto format.

Create image box, then File->Place image.

Initially, the image displays as un-cropped.

If I zoom-in or out (ie. force a re-render), it then displays as cropped and everything looks good.

When I export out as a .pdf, the image is back to un-cropped to the original.  Crop boundaries/parameters not being forwarded?

My work-around is to export the image as a .tiff file and place it into Publisher. When I do that, the image and page renders as expected.

Is this a bug or am I missing some process/option in Publisher to enforce Photo image crops?

Thanks

In working with it a bit, I find Affinity Photo files appear to usually work properly if the placed image is NOT resized in Publisher after placement.

If the placed image is resized in Publisher, then I get the issue.
