HDRP Second Camera Overrides Post Processing

I have a main camera for rendering the scene and a second camera for rendering objects close to the FPS controller.

For the 2018.2 post processing it seems like I have to have post processing on the second camera otherwise no post processing will be applied to either camera even if my main camera has a post processing component on it.

This isn't much of an issue, because most image effects still work fine, however for Depth of Field since my secondary camera only renders a few specific things close to the player, it doesn't apply DoF to anything in the scene.

Is there any way around needing to have a post-processing component on my secondary camera? I can't get any post processing to work without the second camera controlling the settings.

I understand it's because the second camera is rendering on top of the first camera, but on previous Unity versions it wasn't an issue and I could even have different post-processing applied to each of these cameras and it would composite them together accurately.

Thanks for any help given.
