'Eclipse feature patch with Maven+Tycho build

I'm currently developing an Eclipse RCP application, built with Maven v3.8.4 and Tycho v2.6.0. Everything works as expected, except a feature patch that patches the original Eclipse feature org.eclipse.platform.

This is feature xml:

<feature
      id="com.eclipse.platform.patch"
      label="MAS Eclipse Platform Patch"
      version="0.0.1.qualifier"
      provider-name="MAS">

   <requires>
      <import feature="org.eclipse.platform" version="4.22.0.v20211124-1800" patch="true"/>
   </requires>

   <plugin
         id="org.eclipse.ui.navigator"
         download-size="0"
         install-size="0"
         version="0.0.0"
         unpack="false"/>

   <plugin
         id="org.eclipse.ui.ide"
         download-size="0"
         install-size="0"
         version="0.0.0"
         unpack="false"/>

   <plugin
         id="org.eclipse.ltk.ui.refactoring"
         download-size="0"
         install-size="0"
         version="0.0.0"
         unpack="false"/>

   <plugin
         id="org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resources"
         download-size="0"
         install-size="0"
         version="0.0.0"
         unpack="false"/>

</feature>

I have to set the version of the included plugins to something "newer" than the original, like described in Eclipse feature patch doesn't patch plugins.

BUT, with these newer versions, the tycho build fails.

For example the org.eclipse.ui.navigator original version is 3.10.200.v20211009-1706. I set it to 3.10.201.qualifier in the MANIFEST.MF and to 3.10.201-SNAPSHOT in the pom.xml.

And tycho complains about not find the 3.10.200.v20211009-1706 dependency:

[ERROR] Cannot resolve project dependencies:
[ERROR]   Software being installed: mas.product 0.3.0.qualifier
[ERROR]   Missing requirement: org.eclipse.platform.feature.group 4.22.0.v20211124-1800 requires 'org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu; org.eclipse.ui.navigator [3.10.200.v20211009-1706,3.10.200.v20211009-1706]' but it could not be found
[ERROR]   Cannot satisfy dependency: mas.product 0.3.0.qualifier depends on: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu; org.eclipse.platform.feature.group 0.0.0

I believe this must be something related to this bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=389698 am I right?

Any solutions or even workaround? Thankyou!
