jit.video~ backwards loop playback (negative rate) doesn't loop at start point

I'm creating a jit.movie~ object as follows:

jit.movie~ @moviefile crashtest.mov @looppoints 500 1500 @rate -0.5 @loop 1

I was expecting the movie to play backwards in a loop at half speed and when it reaches the beginning of the loop at 500ms, to jump to 1500ms. Instead of that, the movie plays through the start loop point at 500ms and only goes to 1500ms after it reaches 0ms. This seems inconsistent given that if the rate is positive i.e 0.5, playback jumps back to 500ms after reaching 1500ms. If I enable palindromic looping, then playback does what I expect and bounces between the two loop points regardless of whether the speed is negative or positive. I've attached a patch demonstrating what I'm seeing. (Max 8.5.5, MacOS 13.2)
