Confirmed. It's because desktop-icons-ng is actually an application window. There are custom hacks in mutter to make it look like a desktop window. Only Xorg sessions have proper native support for desktop windows. So it looks like those custom hacks in mutter (and maybe gnome- shell) need some work.
