hovermode='x unified' is causing unexpected behavior together with group_by()

library(tidyverse)
library(plotly)

TexasCities_plus_Houston <- ggplot2::txhousing %>% 
  group_by(city) %>%
  plot_ly(x = ~date, y = ~median) %>%
  add_lines(
    name = "Texan Cities", 
    text = ~paste0(city, "\n", median),
    hoverinfo = "text+x"
  ) %>%
  filter(city == "Houston") %>%
  add_lines(name = "Houston")

This works as expected (but the limitation is that it is hard to find Houston city to hover on):
TexasCities_plus_Houston %>% layout(hovermode = "closest")

This solves the above limitation, however, it does not matter which point you hover on, the same city name is shown ("Wichita Falls"). The "median" variable changes as expected, the problem seems to be solely with the variable used in group_by(), in this case, "city".
TexasCities_plus_Houston %>% layout(hovermode = "x unified")

Start by running the supplied R reproducer with plot_ly(), group_by(city), add_lines(), and layout(hovermode = "x unified"). Compare the unified hover labels with hovermode = "closest" and trace how the grouped city value is selected; done means the unified hover shows the city belonging to the hovered point while preserving the changing median.
