Backlog Mana produced by tapping Rosheen, Roaring Prophet not increased by Nyxbloom Ancient

Screenshot or Video
  1. 1 or more
Rosheen, Roaring Prophet has an activated ability that states:
Tap
: Reveal any number of cards with
Variable Colorless
in their mana cost in your hand. Add
Colorless
Colorless
for each card revealed this way. Spend this mana only on costs that contain
Variable Colorless
.

Nyxbloom Ancient has a static ability that states:
If you tap a permanent for mana, it produces three times as much of that mana instead.

Since Rosheen, Roaring Prophet is a permanent that is being tapped for mana, it seems like its activated ability should be affected by Nyxbloom Ancient's static ability. But it is not. You do not get any extra mana tapping Rosheen, Roaring Prophet for mana when Nyxbloom Ancient is on the battlefield under your control. Granted Rosheen, Roaring Prophet generated a special type of mana, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be affected by Nyxbloom Ancient.

In these pictures Rosheen, Roaring Prophet reveals 6 X-cost spells with its ability with Nyxbloom Ancient on the battlefield, but only generated 12 mana. This should be getting tripled by Nyxbloom Ancient and should be 36 mana instead.

This seems similar to this thread which I feel has been incorrectly labeled as not a bug.

Metalworker works fine with Nyxbloom Ancient, but Rosheen, Roaring Prophet indeed does not work in testing. It should also be mentioned that you can't undo the mana ability of Rosheen, Roaring Prophet, and considering you can undo the activation of things like Lion's Eye Diamond this seems incorrect.
