Listener not aware of pending work after restart/reinstall

Checks

• I've already read https://docs.github.com/en/actions/hosting-your-own-runners/managing-self-hosted-runners-with-actions-runner-controller/troubleshooting-actions-runner-controller-errors and I'm sure my issue is not covered in the troubleshooting guide.
• I am using charts that are officially provided

Controller Version

0.9.3

Deployment Method

Helm

Checks

• This isn't a question or user support case (For Q&A and community support, go to Discussions).
• I've read the Changelog before submitting this issue and I'm sure it's not due to any recently-introduced backward-incompatible changes

To Reproduce

1. I have ARC setup working fine
2. I am unistalling runnerset X
3. Triggering workflow that awaits for runner X
4. I'm installing runnerset X again (no changes in runnerset configuration)
5. The workflow awaits forever
6. After clicking Cancel/Rerun on the workflow, listener sees new work to be done and all works fine again

It also happens in such scenario:

1. I have ARC setup working fine
2. I am updating runnerset X - new listener is being created
3. Triggering workflow that awaits for runner X
4. The new (updated) listener is up
5. The workflow awaits forever
6. After clicking Cancel/Rerun on the workflow, listener sees new work to be done and all works fine again

Describe the bug

The listener is not aware of the work and runners needed, if the work was scheduled when listener was offline.
After cancel/rerun on the job all works fine.

Describe the expected behavior

The work should be picked up by the listener once it is online, no matter if it was scheduled when listener was up or not.

I use fork, no changes in the listener code.
Newest runner image in use.

Controller Logs

Controller logs look normally. Only listener is not picking up work

Runner Pod Logs

N/A

Reproduce the restart, reinstall, and listener-update scenarios from the issue, then start with the listener startup logs and the “Getting next message” step using lastMessageID 0. Trace how pending work is discovered after startup; done means a workflow queued while the listener was offline is picked up without canceling or rerunning it.
