[BUG] Creating items in PnP Provisioning in SP Online site templates does not work

[TheInvoker]

Reporting an Issue or Missing Feature

I am creating templates using the PnP provisioning but am noticing the items are not being created. I have this template.json file

{
    "$schema":"https://aka.ms/sppnp-extract-configuration-schema",
    "persistAssetFiles": false,
    "handlers": [
        "Lists",
        "WebSettings",
        "Pages"
    ],
    "lists": {
        "lists": [
            {
                "title": "MyData",
                "includeItems": true
            }
        ]
    },
    "pages": {
        "includeAllClientSidePages": true
    }
}

and the exported XML file has the datarows data in it, but when I apply it to a site, the lists that get created don't have the data in it. Does anyone know what's wrong?

Expected behavior

Items to be created in list

Actual behavior

Items not getting created in list

Steps to reproduce behavior

1. Create a site and a list MyData in it with some data
2. Save it using Get-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Configuration "template.json" -Out "template.xml" -Force
3. Create new site and apply template to it using Apply-PnPProvisioningTemplate -Path "template.xml"
