Form mode label translation is overriding interface translation with same label

I have a custom form mode for user registrations called "Register". The form mode label is translated into French "S'inscrire".
These are exported to config correctly.
The main config file contains the full form mode manager config, and thus also the "label: Register".
The French config file contains, as expected, only the translated label: label: "S'inscrire"

I also have a custom twig file that shows user info, login links, logout links, dashboard links and so on...
It contains this piece of twig code:

<a href="{{ path('user.register') }}" title="{{ "Register"|t }}">{{ "Register"|t }}</a>

The string "Register" is translated via Drupal interface translation to "Créer un compte" in French.

If I deploy my project to live, a config import is done and the translation for the form mode manager label is imported correctly.
But, my custom interface translation for the twig string is overridden with the form mode manager config translation...

I have managed to "fix" my issue by renaming/retranslating the form mode manager label. This is acceptable within this project.
But I did not expect that importing config translations would override interface translations...
Is this expected behaviour?

    Just ran into this issue again.
    Form mode name "Shipping", translations for it exported to config.
    After deploying to staging, the interface translations for "Shipping", used by commerce_shipping module, were overwriten by the config imports from form_mode_manager.

    This is really really annoying. How can I help get this fixed?

    The reverse issue also exist.
    If I make an interface translation (locally) for one of the labels of the form modes and do a config export, the label for the form mode gets exported from the interface translation... very weird.
