Geo Intent Label not showing in Google Maps App

Old creative title: Where is the Google Sydney Office?

Since my Google Maps app updated recently, now version 10.11.1, the following code does not show the label as expected, documented, and previously working:

  val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("geo:38.8951,100.0364?q=38.8951,100.0364(foo)")).setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps")
  if (intent.resolveActivity(packageManager) == null) {
    intent.setPackage(null)
  }
  startActivity(intent)

And neither does this version (with 0,0 immediately after geo:):

  val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=38.8951,100.0364(foo)")).setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps")
  if (intent.resolveActivity(packageManager) == null) {
    intent.setPackage(null)
  }
  startActivity(intent)

Neither does the example code in the official documentation show a label:

// Display a label at the location of Google's Sydney office
Uri gmmIntentUri = Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=-33.8666,151.1957(Google+Sydney)");
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri);
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
startActivity(mapIntent);

no "Google Sydney" label on Moto G5
