ibmi_copy does not rename file if exist before copying with backup=True

Sample task:

tasks:
    - name: Copy single PTF from local to remote server
      ibmi_copy:
        src: /tmp/repos/ibmi/SI78108.savf
        lib_name: QGPL
        force: True
        backup: True
      register: results
      ignore_errors: yes

    - name: results
      debug:
        msg: "{{ results }}"

I'm seeing the error in the job log:

Cause . . . . . :   An attempt was made to create a file that already exists.
Recovery  . . . :   Do one of the following:
                    -- Change the file or library name on create file command, and then try the request again.
                    -- Omit the request.
