plotly.express.scatter_geo shows values provided to text argument in the hoverinfo instead of printing them on the map

I am trying to label some of the points on my scatter map using plotly.express.scatter_geo and text argument. I think there's a bug that causes text to be picked up for hoverinfo instead of the labels. See the reproducible example below:

import plotly.express as px

df = px.data.gapminder().query("year == 2007")

fig = px.scatter_geo(df, locations="iso_alpha",
                     color="continent", # which column to use to set the color of markers
                     hover_name="country", # column added to hover information
                     size="pop", # size of markers
                     projection="natural earth",
                     text="lifeExp")
fig.show()

I was expecting the values as labels for each point in reference to documentation: https://plotly.com/python-api-reference/generated/plotly.express.scatter_geo.html

Start with the reproducible Python example using plotly.express.scatter_geo and compare the documented text argument with the generated map and hover behavior. Trace the scatter_geo entry point to determine why text is sent to hoverinfo instead of rendered as point labels. Done means the supplied values appear as labels on the map while the existing hover information remains correct.
