How to maintain navigation title scroll behavior when using Text with custom color in watchOS?

I'm encountering an issue with navigation title behavior in watchOS SwiftUI. When using a String for the navigation title, long titles automatically scroll as expected. However, when switching to Text with custom foreground color, the scrolling behavior is lost.

Important Observation: The system Settings app on watchOS successfully displays navigation titles with blue color while maintaining scroll behavior. This suggests it should be technically possible - am I missing some implementation approach?

struct ContentView: View {

  var body: some View {
    NavigationStack {
      NavigationLink("Go Next") {
        LinkView()
      }
    }
  }
}

struct LinkView: View {

  enum NavigationTitleMode: String {
    case string
    case text
  }

  @State private var titleMode: NavigationTitleMode = .string

  let title: String = "Watch UI Test Navigation Title"

  var body: some View {
    switch titleMode {
    case .string:
      content
        .navigationTitle(title)
    case .text:
      content
        .navigationTitle {
          Text(title)
            .foregroundStyle(.blue)
        }
    }
  }

  var content: some View {
    VStack {
      Text("Mode: \(titleMode.rawValue)")

      Button("Change Mode", systemImage: "pencil") {
        if titleMode == .string {
          titleMode = .text
        } else {
          titleMode = .string
        }
      }
    }
    .padding()
    .navigationBarTitleDisplayMode(.inline)
  }
}
