Spatially enabled dataframe overwrite layer breaking spatial reference

The process goes as such:

I create my sedf from a df using a geometry field and declare the wkid in the spatial reference.
Publish the sedf as a new feature layer with only name and the gis. It works as expected.
I run the same script but instead of creating a new feature layer, I overwrite. It changes the projection.

from arcgis.geometry import SpatialReference

sr = SpatialReference(wkid=4326) # WGS 84
sedf = pd.DataFrame.spatial.from_df(df,geometry_column='geometry',sr=sr)

lyr = sedf.spatial.to_featurelayer('feat_layer_name', gis=gis) # works correctly

lyr = sedf.spatial.to_featurelayer(gis=gis,overwrite=True,service={'featureServiceId':'1234567890abcdefgh','layer':0}) # breaks projection

Seems like a bug. I'd rather not have to go back to the old method of updating feature layers as this should be the standard.

Oh yeah, it also keeps creating extra shapefiles and feature layers...

... and oh yeah, it also truncates the headers.
