Attribute requirements block gem cutting while using The Vertex's no gem requirements effect

Using The Vertex to ignore gem attribute requirements (Yes, it is the correct version of the item), but cannot cut a new gem if I do not meet the baseline attribute requirements for it

Currently in the middle of grinding the gold to respec and see if I can do weapon set passives to meet the requirements, but seems unintended that you need to meet requirements in order to ignore requirements

Edit: turns out there is an option tucked in gameplay to disable the gemcutting restrictions that prevents this issue, but still somewhat jarring to run up against
