iOS 15 Music widget bug - Music app not opening to selected Recently Played album

Seems that there is a bug in the iOS 15.0 Music widget with one's Recently Played albums - under iOS 14, selecting one of the albums in the widget (pictured in below example) would open/switch to the Music app to that album's entry in your library:



Under iOS 15 however, selecting one of any of the albums pictured here only opens (or switches to, if the app is already running) the Music app to the main Library window.


Not alleviated by restart or force restart.


I've already submitted a feedback bug request for this, because this appears to be more of a bug than a specific feature enhancement. (I don't recall ever reading/seeing anything about this change during development...)


Can anyone else who regularly uses this widget confirm whether this behavior is occurring on their device?


If this is indeed a bug, it is a rather bothersome one - as presenting the user with a grouping of recently played albums without having the proper interaction with them from within the widget (as with iOS 14) makes this whole part of the widget a bit useless...


Thanks.
