Apple Music no longer shows album artwork on playlists (Cont)

As many have pointed out here (Apple Music no longer shows album artwork… - Apple Community) when you create a playlist in Music (1.5.1.24), you no longer have the auto populated, montage image of artwork (in four quadrants).

I've tried these suggestions, with no luck:

1. Add to Playlist>New Playlist.
2. Use the left arrow (shown here with a red arrow) to the left of those dots to select blank option.
3. Do not click on the plus sign or add any artwork.
4. Now just type in a playlist title and click create.

This instead leaves a generic, gray icon, with music note.

I also noticed that if you try and change an existing Playlist (with the left arrow method), that it quickly blinks with the gray musical icon, then reverts to the standard gradient image.
