If a texture is not set to preload, and the entity belongs to dynamic batch group, the texture never shows up, unless the developer manually resets the batch groups.
Note, that it shows, if the batch group is static.

Research direction
Start by running the linked PlayCanvas repro project and compare dynamic and static batch groups when a texture is not set to preload. Trace the Batch Manager path for dynamic groups and verify that the texture appears without manually resetting the batch groups. Done means the dynamic case loads the texture as the static case does.
