HDR improperly displayed in Overview (overexposed)

SUMMARY

When displaying HDR content, activating the overview will cause the HDR content to display overexposed while in overview.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a window with HDR content (for testing I used Overwatch, other HDR content is also affected)
2. Open the desktop overview.
3. HDR content will be overexposed and washed out

OBSERVED RESULT

The content in the Overview displays in SDR with overexposed highlights (because the content is still in HDR)

EXPECTED RESULT

Overview should display HDR content, or at least tonemap HDR content to SDR correctly.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The screenshots are made by my phone, as spectacle can't screenshot or tonemap HDR yet.
