`light.group` appears unavailable after a core restart. Becomes available after reloading groups or turning light on

The problem

This one light.group appears unavailable after a core restart. Here is the group:

- platform: group
  name: "[Lys] Tilleggslys"
  entities:
    - light.lys_tilleggslys_dimbare
    - light.lys_tilleggslys_faste

Both entities are gropus themself, and are available and has the state on after a core restart, but not the light.group above.

The group becomes available after I do a reload of the "GROUPS, GROUP ENTITIES, AND NOTIFY SERVICES" from the GUI or after I switch on one of the lights within the groups in the entities list.

Example YAML snippet

- platform: group
    name: "[Lys] Tilleggslys"
    entities:
      - light.lys_tilleggslys_dimbare
      - light.lys_tilleggslys_faste
  - platform: group
    name: "[Lys] Tilleggslys dimbare"
    entities:
      - light.lys_kjokken_led_current_value

  - platform: group
    name: "[Lys] Tilleggslys faste"
    entities:
      - light.hjornelys_soverom

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

Additional information

I have a similar group which seems to work as expected:

  - platform: group
    name: "[Lys] Grunnbelysning"
    entities:
      - light.lys_grunnbelysning_dimbare
      # - light.lys_grunnbelysning_faste
      - light.wled_badet
      - light.lys_sesong
  - platform: group
    name: "[Lys] Grunnbelysning dimbare"
    entities:
      - light.lys_gang_current_value
      - light.lys_entre_current_value
      - light.lys_stue_gangsone_current_value
      - light.lys_kjokken_lampetter_current_value
      - light.lys_trapp_current_value

Hey there @home-assistant/core, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with an integration (group) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks! _{^{(message by CodeOwnersMention)}}

I was not able to recreate this.

[palengh]

Hmmm. Still an issue here. The strange thing is it occurs after a HA Core restart, then the group becomes available after reloading the group from HA Gui.

[karliemeads]

Does this issue occur in a fresh installation of homeassistant?

Perhaps its integration specific. What lights do you have? Can you also try removing the square brackets[Lys] -> Lys
