Process Explorer shows incorrect Autostart Location

Using Sysinternals Process Explorer (procexp.exe / procexp64.exe) version 16.42, when opening the properties of a service host process (svchost.exe) running a specific service or service host group (in my case, netsvcs), the Autostart Location on the Image tab under Image File shows the wrong Autostart Location (in my case, the autostart location of the WpnUserService service). I assume this is because Process Explorer searches the registry for the start of a process with the correct process name and returns the first hit it finds instead of the correct hit when multiple options are present.

Can somebody confirm the issue (i.e., does it happen for other people too?), confirm my hypothesis on the cause and tell me how to file a bug report?
