Ubuntu Mate guest session locked out when switching from another

ATTN: Ubuntu Mate Developers
Description: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release: 18.04

In Ubuntu Mate 18.04 LTS LightDM, I created a file in
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf, with the line:
allow-guest=true
This allows me to log into a guest session. The issue is when I try to
switch between the guest session and a normal session and back.
Switching from guest session to the normal user session is fine.
LightDM asks for the normal user password. However, when I try to
switch from the normal user to back to the guest session I am asked
for password as well. This is the problem as the guest session has no
known password. The unlock window has a 'Switch User" button along
with Cancel, etc. Clicking the "Switch User" button takes me to the
standard LightDM screen. There I can select from the normal user and
the guest. However, selecting guest here opens a new guest session,
and does not take me back to the guest session already open.
This looks like an old bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1481804
