Scene2D spawned by NodeInstantiator does not execute propertyUpdated method (no mouse events)

[technobaboo]

NodeInstantiator:

NodeInstantiator {
        model: shellSurfaces

        Panel {
            id:panel
            shellSurf: modelData
            listIndex: index
        }
    }

Panel.qml:

Entity {
    ...
    id:panel
    components: [panelTransform, planeMesh, material, panelPicker]
    ...
    Scene2D {
        id: waylandScene
        output: RenderTargetOutput { ... }
        mouseEnabled: true
        entities: [parent]

        ShellSurfaceItem { ... }
    }
    ...
}

I have debugged it and figured out that Scene2D's entities is not being updated, therefore the pick handler is not registered, meaning no mouse events can be forwarded. This happens regardless of what item is inside the Scene2D. I've already tried to set the entities property later using Component.onComplete on the Scene2D with no luck...
