Plotly waterfall with offset base: hovertext activated on hover at wrong position

Recently, when using an offset (a non-zero base parameter) in a waterfall plot in plotly, I noticed that the boxes with hoverinfo were activated when the mouse pointer was in a completely wrong/unexpected place. I've submitted a question about this on StackOverflow, but realized it's quite likely that this is a bug, so I'm posting it here as well. Here's a link to my original post on SO, with a reproducible example: https://stackoverflow.com/q/71655326/3381005. I observed this behavior in the R version of Plotly, but I don't think it's R-specific, as I saw a similar post from a Python Dash Plotly user (sadly unanswered) here.

Start by reproducing the waterfall example in the linked Stack Overflow post and compare it with the related Plotly community report. Trace the waterfall hover behavior for a non-zero base; done means hovertext activates where the pointer is over the corresponding box, with a regression test covering the offset case.
