Sprite in container not playing animation

Description

When adding a sprite to a container and playing an animation, the animation is not playing (stuck on first frame). Found this bug in newest version (3.55.2), found a forum thread about this, but it seems no one issued a bug?
Forum thread with description: https://phaser.discourse.group/t/sprite-inside-container-doesnt-play-animations-in-phaser-3-53-and-newer/9765/4

Example Test Code

function preload() {
    this.load.spritesheet('character', 'src/assets/character.png', {
      frameWidth: 64,
      frameHeight: 64,
    });
  }

  function create() {
    this.anims.create({
      key: 'walk',
      frames: this.anims.generateFrameNumbers('character', {
        start: 2,
        end: 9,
      }),
      frameRate: 8,
      repeat: -1
    });
  const container = this.add.container(initData.x, initData.y);
  const sprite = new Phaser.GameObjects.Sprite(
      this,
      0,
      0,
      'character',
    );
    sprite.play('walk', true);
    container.add(sprite);
}

Additional Information

pinning Phaser to version 3.52.0 resolves the issue

I am facing the same issue. Here is another repro: https://jsfiddle.net/sushovande/muafr6jc/

Note: the workaround is the manually add the same sprite to the scene again, that forces it to be updated.
