[BUG]: Cannot import github_repository into child module when authenticating with GitHub App installation token

[nbentfeld]

Expected Behavior

Plan is successful and displays resource module.test.github_repository.this to be imported

Actual Behavior

Plan errors with message

╷ │ Error: Cannot import non-existent remote object │ │ While attempting to import an existing object to │ "module.github_actions_repository.github_repository.this", the provider │ detected that no object exists with the given id. Only pre-existing objects │ can be imported; check that the id is correct and that it is associated │ with the provider's configured region or endpoint, or use "terraform apply" │ to create a new remote object for this resource. ╵

Terraform Version

Terraform v1.7.3 on Terraform Cloud remote runner + registry.terraform.io/integrations/github v6.2.1 also tried Terraform v1.8

Affected Resource(s)

• github_repository

Terraform Configuration Files

# terraform.tf
provider "github" {
  owner = "<test-organization>"
  app_auth {
    id              = var.terraform_github_app_id
    installation_id = var.terraform_github_app_installation_id
    pem_file        = var.terraform_github_app_pem_file
  }
}

# repositories.tf
import {
  id = "test"
  to = module.test.github_repository.this
}

module "test" {
  source       = "./modules/repository"
  name         = "test"
}

# ./modules/repository/main.tf
variable "name" {
  type = string
}

resource "github_repository" "this" {
  name       = var.name
}

Steps to Reproduce

• Set Terraform variables terraform_github_app_id, terraform_github_app_installation_id and terraform_github_app_pem_file in Terraform Cloud workspace or github.tfvars file
• run terraform plan (when using Terraform Cloud remote runs) or terraform plan -var-file github.tfvars (when running locally)

When using the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable to authenticate, the plan is successful with the expected output.
