scanpy.pp.log1p with backed h5ad produces copy error

I am fairly new with using scanpy, and so I may be performing this incorrectly. I encountered an error when trying to create a backed AnnData object from an h5ad file, and then logarithmizing the data matrix within the object using scanpy.pp.log1p. However I get an error within the AnnData object code because the preprocessing/_simple.py script is not passing a filename in the copy() function.

Right now my current workaround is to create the AnnData object as non-backed, do the log1p, and then create a "filename" property to the AnnData object afterwards to make it backed for other scanpy functions.

Example

import scanpy as sc

dataset_path = "/path/to/test/data.h5ad"   # Subbing out actual filenames for data
adata = sc.read_h5ad(dataset_path, backed='r')
print(adata)   # To ensure there is a backed filepath

adata.raw = sc.pp.log1p(adata, copy=True)    # Error is here

Error output

# I printed the AnnData object to ensure it was backed
AnnData object with n_obs × n_vars = 4166 × 16852 backed at '/tmp/1b12dde9-1762-7564-8fbd-1b07b750505f.h5ad'
    obs: 'cell_type', 'barcode', 'tSNE_1', 'tSNE_2', 'replicate', 'louvain', 'n_genes', 'percent_mito', 'n_counts'
    var: 'gene_symbol', 'n_cells'
    obsm: 'X_tsne'
