Initial merged branch from main creates chore PR, subsequent branches off main merged to main do not.

TLDR;

or
Created two branches off of the main branch, both with commit messages following the conventional commit convention, both with changes different from the other. Merging the first will create a chore PR, the second will not.

Environment details

• Programming language: NA
• OS: NA
• Language runtime version: NA
• Package version: 4

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new repo containing a package.json and .gitgub/workflows/release-please.yml config.
2. Check "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests" in Settings > Actions > General > Workflow permissions
3. Create a branch off of default branch (main, master, etc); Update-1
4. Create a branch off of default branch (main, master, etc); Update-2
5. Add a change to Update-1. In my demo I add an index.html
6. Add a change to Update-2. In my demo I add a README.md
7. Create PR to merge Update-2 to default branch.
8. Merge Update-2 to default branch.
9. Go to Actions and see release-please run and create a chore PR.
10. Go to Pull requests and merge chore PR.
11. Create PR to merge Update-1 to default branch.
12. Merge Update-1 to default branch.
13. Go to Actions and view the details of the release-please workflow and you'll see that the Update-1 PR "commit could not be parsed" and no chore PR is generated.
