The save_post_terms array values assigned but not saved for bidirectional values

Cannot save post terms submitted by taxonomy edit form with relationship bidirectional field.

To Reproduce

Create custom post type People and custom taxonomy Role for post type People.

Add taxonomy field roles to People and enable save and load terms options.

Add relationship field people_order for Role taxonomy.

Enable bidirectional relations between roles and people_order fields.

Create new People post and add a single value for roles field.

Edit role term by removing value from people_order field.

Expected behavior
single-people.php

<p>Debug roles get_field: <?= json_encode(get_field('roles')) ?></p>
<p>Debug roles get_the_terms: <?= json_encode(get_the_terms(get_the_ID(), 'role')) ?></p>

Debug roles get_field: false
Debug roles get_the_terms: false

Actual behavior — the value still exists (loaded from wp object terms?)

Debug roles get_field: [55]
Debug roles get_the_terms: [{"term_id":55,"name":"Director","slug":"director","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":55,"taxonomy":"role","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw"}]

Code
acf-export.json

Additional context

The problem looks like solved when I comment this lines:

class-acf-field-taxonomy.php:381

// append
$this->save_post_terms[ $taxonomy ] = array_merge( $old_term_ids, $term_ids );

// if called directly from frontend update_field().
-if ( ! did_action( 'acf/save_post' ) ) {
    $this->save_post( $post_id );
-    return $value;
-}

return $value;

Looks like $this->save_post call is needed for this case.

Start with class-acf-field-taxonomy.php around line 381 and follow how save_post_terms is handled when the taxonomy edit form updates the bidirectional relationship. Reproduce the People and Role setup from the issue, then verify that removing people_order clears both get_field('roles') and get_the_terms(). Done means the removed term is no longer saved or returned.
