Custom Error Message is not displaying in Modern UI when a remote event receiver returns a status of SPRemoteEventServiceStatus.CancelWithError and an error message. It works as expected in classic UI.

We use a Remote Event Receiver to determine if a publishing action can complete or should be cancelled.

What we experience is that the modern UI displays a "failed" message instead of the custom error message.

However, if we switch to classic UI the error message shows as expected.

It seems like a bug in SP2019. How do we fix this issue?
