Inconsistency in the Species/Taxon column in the table of my observations?

Some of my observations come with ID Subphylum Angiospermae. When I get a second (better) ID then the Species/Taxon Name in the list of my observations sometimes still shows the original ID Angiospermae, sometimes it shows the narrower taxon such as Genus (which is not yet the community taxon). I find this a little bit confusing. Could it be a feature I am not aware of? The observations are 39902448 and 39898802.

Subspecies IDs don’t “move the ID forward” until there are two of them, which is why this one https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/39902448 is still labeled at subphylum.

There’s an open feature request to address this issue: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/leading-subspecies-ids-should-change-the-obs-taxon-like-leading-ids-of-other-ranks/139
