Vibrate action is interrupted by Lock Device action

Create a test flow.
Action "Lock Device" -> Action "Vibrate: Pattern 8 (.....)"
Execute the flow. On my device, the screen turns off, phone vibrates once or twice, then the vibration is cut off.
If I add a "Sleep 1s" action between "Lock Device" and "Vibrate", screen turns off and 1 second later phone vibrates 5 times, as expected.

I've noticed this side effect too. However I'm not sure why Android implements the lock feature this way. Delaying the lock seems to be the only option to avoid the effect.

Got it. So, no workarounds (other than sleeping)?

No, I'm not aware about any other workaround than sleeping.
