Thanks for that pointer! AIUI the commit implementing the functionality you were looking for is:

https://github.com/tmux/tmux/commit/cd208c9d72df79a34024df6b8eb8f984613de8ef

which has been first released in tmux 3.2a. That's not (yet) in Ubuntu (not even in the current devel release), but it's already in Debian testing. This means the functionality will land in Ubuntu with the next sync from Debian, during the 22.04 development cycle.

The bug doesn't qualify for a SRU (see [1]), but good to know it will be address in time for the next LTS. (An updated package could be provided via a backports, but first we need the a newer tmux to land in Ubuntu.)

I'm updating the bug status a bit to reflect all of this.
