Setting Status icon for CFAPI does not work as expected

I try to set the status icon of the placeholder file created with CFAPI to error. (see below)

content of folder T:

I set the error state on the file, but it does not display the error. However the error is displayed on the containing folder.

I use following code to set the error on the file (the complete code is published on github):

void SetTransferStatus(_In_ PCWSTR fullPath, _In_ SYNC_TRANSFER_STATUS status)
{
    // Tell the Shell so File Explorer can display the progress bar in its view
    try
    {
        // First, get the Volatile property store for the file. That's where the properties are maintained.
        winrt::com_ptr<IShellItem2> shellItem;
        winrt::check_hresult(SHCreateItemFromParsingName(fullPath, nullptr, __uuidof(shellItem), shellItem.put_void()));

        winrt::com_ptr<IPropertyStore> propStoreVolatile;
        winrt::check_hresult(
            shellItem->GetPropertyStore(
                GETPROPERTYSTOREFLAGS::GPS_READWRITE | GETPROPERTYSTOREFLAGS::GPS_VOLATILEPROPERTIESONLY,
                __uuidof(propStoreVolatile),
                propStoreVolatile.put_void()));

        // Set the sync transfer status accordingly
        PROPVARIANT transferStatus;
        winrt::check_hresult(
            InitPropVariantFromUInt32(
                status,
                &transferStatus));
        winrt::check_hresult(propStoreVolatile->SetValue(PKEY_SyncTransferStatus, transferStatus));

        // Without this, all your hard work is wasted.
        winrt::check_hresult(propStoreVolatile->Commit());

        // Broadcast a notification that something about the file has changed, so that apps
        // who subscribe (such as File Explorer) can update their UI to reflect the new progress
        SHChangeNotify(SHCNE_UPDATEITEM, SHCNF_PATH, static_cast<LPCVOID>(fullPath), nullptr);

        //wprintf(L"Succesfully Set Transfer Progress on \"%s\" to %llu/%llu\n", fullPath, completed, total);
    }
    catch (...)
    {
        // winrt::to_hresult() will eat the exception if it is a result of winrt::check_hresult,
        // otherwise the exception will get rethrown and this method will crash out as it should
        wprintf(L"Failed to Set Transfer Progress on \"%s\" with %08x\n", fullPath, static_cast<HRESULT>(winrt::to_hresult()));
    }
}

In addition, if I delete the file and create a new file the state will still be on error.

Someone pointed me to an pull request in the windows cloud mirror sample that shows how to accomplish this.

This is the code:

void Utilities::UpdateErrorOnItem(PCWSTR path, bool setError)
{
    try
    {
        winrt::com_ptr<IShellItem2> item;
        winrt::check_hresult(SHCreateItemFromParsingName(path, nullptr, IID_PPV_ARGS(item.put())));

        winrt::com_ptr<IPropertyStore> propertyStore;
        winrt::check_hresult(item->GetPropertyStore(GPS_READWRITE | GPS_EXTRINSICPROPERTIESONLY, IID_PPV_ARGS(propertyStore.put())));

        PROPVARIANT propVar{};
        if (setError)
        {
            propVar.vt = VT_UI4;
            propVar.ulVal = static_cast<unsigned long>(E_FAIL);
            winrt::check_hresult(propertyStore->SetValue(PKEY_LastSyncError, propVar));
        }
        else
        {
            // Clear by setting to empty
            propVar.vt = VT_EMPTY;
            winrt::check_hresult(propertyStore->SetValue(PKEY_LastSyncError, propVar));
        }

        winrt::check_hresult(propertyStore->Commit());
    }
    catch (...)
    {
        // winrt::to_hresult() will eat the exception if it is a result of winrt::check_hresult,
        // otherwise the exception will get rethrown and this method will crash out as it should
        wprintf(L"Failed to set error state with %08x\n", static_cast<HRESULT>(winrt::to_hresult()));
    }
