Broken beam to the left not working?

[Knute Snortum]

I've come across an odd behavior, maybe a bug.  I am trying to create a
broken/partial/fragmented beam to the left of the note group.  I can do it
to the right just fine.  Some code may help illustrate what I mean:

%%%
\version "2.23.7"

% This doesn't work: no beams are created
\relative c''' {
  \hideNotes g8[ \unHideNotes f16 e f]
}

% This works: beams are created with a partial beam at the end
\relative c'' {
  f16[ e f \hideNotes g8] \unHideNotes
}
%%%

The "\hideNotes" trick works when I want the partial beam to the right, but
not to the left.  Bug?  Is there a work-around?
