Plasma Login Manager systemd-homed User not Listed

I understand plasma-login-manager isn’t considered as generally available as yet, but I was keen to see the improvements sooner rather than later.
I have 2 users on my system, a standard user and a systemd-homed user for home drive folder encryption.
After switching from sddm to plasma-login-manager, the user list only shows the standard user. Not a major issue, I can use the “Other…” option, manually enter the username and password and it will login ok.
I didn’t have this issue with sddm, it listed both users as expected is there something I can do to add this manually to the list of users?
Apologies if I missed the answer in existing documentation, I’ve not been able to find it so far.

I’m running a vanilla Arch install, with CachyOS repos added for additional packages, plasma-login-manager installed from CachyOS.

Thanks in advance!

Running:

grep  "^UID_M" /etc/login.defs

Returns this:
UID_MIN 1000
UID_MAX 60000

My old sddm conf file had a few lines to increase the max UID, Im told that systemd-homed users are outside that range.

Entering the following into /etc/plasmalogin.conf has not helped:
[Users]
MaximumUid=60513
MaximumUid=1000

I suspect this might be the problem.
