SharePoint crawler not picking up new pages with new site columns
I'm experiencing a weird issue with search in 3 different tenants. If I add a new site column to a Site Page derived content type and publish a new page with the new column populated, the new page doesn't get indexed. Since the page with values isn't indexed, SP Search doesn't provision the new crawled properties, either. Other new pages get indexed if the new column is empty. Does anyone else have a similar issue?
PS: This started this week after the new SP updates were pushed to tenants with the new Title Area options, page co-editing, etc.

- It sounds like a MS Support ticket is required. It might be a good idea to verify if the items have been indexed at all. Over the years I have had several incidents where MS failed to index content so I had put the verification steps in a blog post: https://www.m365thinking.com/post/what-to-do-when-the-sharepoint-search-doesn-t-pick-up-your-content-part-1-of-4
- I can't find any entries in the crawl log for the new pages (success or failure). We can reproduce this issue in 4 different M365 tenants now.
- Ms has recognized the issue and there is a notice about it in the health section in the tenant admin
