Description
Description
I am not able to properly visualize IconLayers on my Globe-projected DeckGL instance.
In my React-Maplibre-MapboxOverlay implementation mercator projection shows up great, but globe projection glitches out. (tested both interleaved/overlaid)

In my (codepen using script tag) reproduction, I am actually able to see the point when the globe is oriented such that the Icon extrudes in the right direction, however, in my implementation, the point disappears after any user interaction.
Additionally, in the reproduction, the IconLayer instances do not show up in the right location. Notice how the coordinates of the sample points are all within Florida, however, the IconLayer shows up at the origin

Expected Behavior
I would expect the IconLayer to behave as it normally does in the "mercator" projection.
