Lightning Network – Unable to pay bill with route hints

Lightning invoices with route hints cannot be paid. The node in the route hint never receives a forwarding request, so I think there is a problem with the invoice and the route was never attempted.

Below is an example bill.

I’m trying to find an encoding issue but it doesn’t show up.

Any ideas on why this is happening would be great!
