Wolf pack + Cast on Minion Death (not working)

Wolf pack is a minion gem, is supportable by minion support gems, and when these wolfs die, trigger HeartBound loop. They do not however count for Cast on Minion Death for some reason.

I currently use Wolf pack (Minion instability, Feeding Frenzy I, Infernal Legion III, Minion Mastery) to proc HeartBound Loop self damage to stack up Iron Ward. This all works correctly.

I just tried to use Cast on Minion Death to cast Profane Ritual but CoMD does not gain energy from the minions dying.

I'm not sure if its a bug or if something was overlooked, but I'd like to see this fixed. All the ways I can see this, CoMD+WP should work.

They are tagged as persistent so this should work, perhaps the respawn is to quick but it should work
can confirm, presently wolves do not count for COMD. Possibly intended nerf?
Honestly I'd like to see both set of wolves be allowed to work with COMD. It seems a bit ridiculous that the minions from pounce are minions with infinite duration and persist as long as you live, but not persistent. I reckon the wolf pack is because the wolves are classified as a single companion rather than separate entities, but again with all of these points requiring you to test well into act 3, its a little frustrating from a buildcrafting perspective.
Just wanted to bump this. Irritating that there's no indication CoMD doesn't get energy from wolves spawned by Predator's Mark, but plenty of reasons to think it would work (tags, language, descriptions, etc..)

For players like me that enjoy exploring the systems of the game naturally versus build-guides and reddit posts, this is a not-so-fun way to waste an hour...

Is it possible to at least relay whether it's intended or not?
