Windows11 (25H2), display resolution 3840x2160, dpi scale 150%

Browser - metadata
'Write categories into images as hierarchical keywords' writes as non-hierarchal into XMP:Subject

to reproduce
1. goto Settings>Metadata
- check 'IPTC:Keywords'
- check 'Write categories into images as hierarchical keywords'
2. write Cats into image
a
├─ a1
├─ a2

they will be written into:
- IPTC as a, a|a1, a|a2 - OK
- XMP as
dc
subject[1] a
subject[2] a1
subject[3] a2

expected
XMP to be the same as in Bridge with the same settings:
dc
subject[1] a
subject[2] a|a1
subject[3] a|a2
