Bug Sprite Shape Controller doesn't update material information

The problem is simple:

1. I have a shader that draws the sprite texture with a color defined in the material.
2. I assign the material created with that shader to a Sprite shape controller.
3. I have a script that under certain conditions changes the color of the material.

The problem is that Sprite Shape Controller doesn't update the material information despite pointing to the material I modified. The only way I can see the changes is by modifying the shape, enable tangents or whatever other option that internally updates the information of the GameObject.

I tried placing the same material in a regular SpriteRenderer. It works. Every SpriteRenderer that uses the material changes color when the conditions are met. The ones who remain using the old material configuration are the SpriteShapeControllers. If I modify the shape it updates.

This is a problem, probably due to some internal optimization. Is there a workaround?

 

Some updates. I have been trying to force the refresh of the mesh through a script. It works, but it slows down the game to a crawl.

I don't understand the logic behind the material not being updated when modified. I am simply being forced to drop Sprite Shape completely if someone cannot offer me a solution.
