Pipeline matrix `soft_fail` failure

[orien]

I'm struggling with one aspect of the Build Matrix documentation, specifically adding an adjustment build with soft_fail: true.

It seems when an automatic retry is in play and the adjustment step fails, it fails hard, causing the status of the pipeline build to be a failure.

  steps:
  - label: "💥 Matrix build with adjustments"
    command: "echo {{matrix.os}} {{matrix.arch}} {{matrix.test}}"
+   retry:
+     automatic:
+       limit: 1
    matrix:
      setup:
        arch:
          - "arm64"
        os:
          - "linux"
        test:
          - "A"
          - "B"
      adjustments:
        - with:
            os: "windows"
            arch: "amd64"
            test: "B"
          soft_fail: true

Is this an undocumented feature or a defective behaviour?
