"Now press the 4-bar automated loop button right in the moment before the playposition is at the next beat marker. They are now out of sync, with every run of the loop a bit more."
I'm not sure what you mean by out of sync -- naturally the track that is looping will not be at the same playposition as the first track, because it is looping. Are you talking about quantize being on or off? I assume it's on since you talk about the loop starting at the previous beat. And yes, the loop will be one beat off from the phrasing, but it should still sound correct and should still remain in sync. (And you can shift the loop by one beat if necessary).
As described this sounds like a bug, but I can't reproduce it.
I know some systems will create a loop starting at the next beat and then let the playhead play into the loop -- I don't know if we can do that right now
