Circular require in new coroutine does not resume when ready

Bug Reports Engine Bugs
#1

Where
Both in Studio and in live games

Steps to Reproduce
In a blank baseplate, add these scripts to the workspace:

A (ModuleScript)

print("A start")
print("A:", require(workspace.B))
return "A"

B (ModuleScript)

print("B start")
coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
	print("B coroutine start")
	print("B require:", require(workspace.A))
end))
return "B"

C (Script)

print("C start")
print("C:", require(workspace.A))

Actual Output

  C start
  A start
  B start
  B coroutine start
  A: B
  C: A

Expected Behaviour
When ‘B’ is done, this lets ‘A’ finish up, allowing ‘C’ to resume; the brand new coroutine in ‘B’ should also be resumed at this time.

Place with those scripts
require bug.rbxl (18.5 KB)

Workaround
So long as you put it on Roblox’s thread scheduler via wait() or by using spawn/delay instead of using coroutines directly, it works as expected.

I am in the process of checking over bug reports and following up on some bugs that haven’t received any activity in a while.
Is this issue still occurring or can you confirm that this bug has been resolved?

The bug is still there - the output of the originally attached require bug.rbxl file remains unchanged.
