Strike and Protect tiles don't affect team-up tile matches

When you or AI matches a set of team-up tiles, strike tiles and protect tiles do not increase or decrease the damage inflicted. Is this as intended?

It’s being updated soon. Look at the upcoming patch notes.

Nice.
They mention strike tiles, but not protect tiles. I hope that isn’t yet-another oversight.
