Two songs not adding to Apple Music library

I just tried to add the 2025 remaster of The Royal Scam by Steely Dan to my music library from Apple Music (I'm on Golden Gate 27.2). Seven of the nine songs worked just fine, but Don't Take Me Alive and The Royal Scam did not appear in my library. I've tried downloading them (no dice), removing all downloads and deleting the album from my library - nothing works. Apple Music thinks both songs have been downloaded (choice in context menu is "Remove download"), but they're not there. I've tried toggling "Sync Library" off and on, and forcing a refresh of my iCloud library. Neither worked. Anyone have any suggestions?

For what it's worth, I have this album (the 2025 remaster) and I have all tracks. Kid Charlemagne is the studio version. Try removing download, delete album from library, update library, then add and download the album again.

Just thought to check on my iPhone. Both songs are missing from the album on iOS as well.

And Kid Charlamagne is there (labelled as being from the 2025 remaster) but it's clearly a live track.
