Home directory fails to populate if something is mounted there

Hi! My setup looks something like this:
sda: 465GB for Windows 10, including several partitions for esp, recovery, etc
sdb: 465GB Storage in one partiton (ext4)
sdc: 165GB elementary OS partition, esp, swap

When installing, I selected to mount sdb1 in /home/username/Storage, which worked.

However, when I went to login as that same username, it booted me back to the login screen. I traced the issue back to permissions, there were no permissions set for my home directory. It was owned by root, and the Storage directory existed and was owned by me, but I couldn't log in because the home directory was owned by root.

I dunno, maybe this is an edge case, but I thought I'd report it nonetheless.

steath edit: I should note that once permissions were fixed, it populated with the various folders upon first login.

Edit2: I should note the version that I installed with, it was the one available on the builds.elementary.io page as of yesterday, so I assume the version is quite current as of writing time.
