Offerings from mercs not affecting player minions

I am unsure if the wording is ambiguous or it's intended, however the offerings text says "... allied minions..." however, it does not seem to affect player controlled minions, despite them logically being allied to the mercs. Is this intended or are player controlled minions technically not allied to the mercs?

Here are some images highlighting the text, and how it doesn't seem to be applying to my AG.

Does this also mean then, that items which provide XYZ benefit to allies also will not work for player minions; IE: Crown of the Tyrant base damage based on gem color?

Please show the screenshot where it says allied minions. Looking at Bone Offering, it specifies YOUR gems, and the player's minions are not the merc's minions. Working as designed.

Well, I'll look for a reanimator, but the wording is not the same on their offering and the player skill. Hence the post.

Sorry, I misunderstood and thought it was the regular offering. Didn't know they had a new version.

Poedb shows the "allied minions" text and they benefit from all other things that mention allies, so it should work otherwise it would just have the same wording as regular offering. Once you come across them again, I recommend screenshot/video, including any testing to verify it didn't work, and a bug report number.

Shaper Seed is working for players minions and auras from mercenaries too.

So I suspect it's within the realm of possibility that it is indeed a bug?

Saw a bug patch today, with no mention of this. Could GGG confirm if this is the intended interaction?

Still no mention of this in 3.26.0c patch notes. Can we get some sort of confirmation on this (either working as intended or is a bug?)
