`allow_unreachable` in Philips Hue config appears to do nothing

Running HA Core version 0.106.0. I have allow_unreachable: true set in my configuration for Philips Hue, but it doesn’t appear to actually do anything. I tested this by turning the mains power to a bulb off. The Hue API shows the bulb as unreachable (and so does the Hue app), but Home Assistant will report the bulb as on or off if I flip the toggle even though the bulb is unreachable. The Hue groups that it is a part of also change to on or off accordingly. Based on the Hue docs I’d expect the bulb to go to a state of unavailable or something similar. Here’s my config:

hue:
  bridges:
  - host: 10.0.0.166
    allow_unreachable: true
    allow_hue_groups: true

Config check shows no errors. Changed log level to debug and didn’t find anything either. I just tested the behavior now so I don’t know how it functioned before version 0.106.0 unfortunately. Anyone have any thoughts? Not sure if this is a bug or if I’m just misunderstanding how that configuration option should function.
