Description of the issue

Looks like 16.2.1 InDesign is now out in the wild with this problem still happening, I presume this will be fixed in an upcoming release? Current advice is to roll back to 16.1

I've filed this as CEP-2384

Engineering has closed that bug, and reports that the XMP fix will be in Illustrator 25.3 and InDesign 16.3.
