Should a Flydo be able to pick up water from a Sweepy Dock? [Solved]

Edit: I figured it out. The sweepy dock was submerged in too much water. Even though the dock can't flood, the sweepies seem to avoid the water. I forgot that one of the bottom tiles of the dock is the tile of interest.

 

Hi! I've seen several people talk about using flydos to get water from a sweepy dock into the ice maker and the bottle drainer. Examples:

•  Fully automated Snowmaker with our new robotic overlords (reddit)
• PSA: With 2 sweepies and a flydo you can fill a pipe completely with any liquid up to 3000C no dupe labor required (reddit)

However, my flydos never take water from sweepy's dock. The dock is full of water, the ice maker is awaiting delivery, the room is locked. If I have a dupe place a bottle of water on the floor the flydos will happily put that water into the ice maker. It's just the sweepy dock they seem to ignore.

Was the behavior recently changed and flydos just don't do that any more? I looked through the patch notes but can't seem to find anything like that.

What was the reason?
