"TextChatService is not enabled" error occurs when calling AddUserAsync even though ChatVersion is set to TextChatService

I’m working on a recreation of the legacy chat system interface that uses TextChatService. In the process of trying to create a TextChannel for a whisper, I found that the AddUserAsync call always fails in this scenario with the following error:

Expected behavior

I expect AddUserAsync to add a TextSource to the TextChannel as described in the API documentation.

Update: Immediately found the cause of this error after posting; creating a TextChannel and calling AddUserAsync before parenting it to TextChannels will cause this error. Still leaving the post up as the error message is inaccurate.
