XMLP W2 does not include Box 12 Overflow

We are testing 2021 W-2 XMLP printing and see that and employee has 5 entries for Box 12. The W-2 form has a place for 4 entries so we are expecting an "overflow" W-2 for the fifth Box 12 entry. The XML generated for the employee contains 2 <W2_Data> element tags with the second <W2_Data> tag having the fifth Box 12 entry.

However, when viewing the generated W-2 PDF there are only 4 entries for box 12 and box 14 contains the message FED W-2 DATA IS ON SEPARATE W-2 and no separate W-2.

The issue can be reproduced with the following steps:
1. Verify that <Bug 33656660> is applied in the test environment (PeopleTools>Utilities>Administration>Updates by Update ID) 
               - This updates the Report Definition for PYW221S_EE with a new Effective dated row 1/2/2021 (Jan 2) and changes the template.
               - Navigate to Reporting Tools > BI Publisher > Create BIP Report Definitions
               - If you do not have this row in the Templates tab for PYW221S_EE, then the patch has not been applied properly.

2. Run the TAX910LD for an employee that has 5 boxes for Box 12 (Payroll for North America>US Annual Processing>Create W-2 Data>Load Year End Data)
3. Run the Create W2 PDF (Payroll for North America>US Annual Processing>W-2 Reporting>Create W-2 PDF Forms)
4. Verify the W2 in self service only produce one form with the 4 boxes instead of 2 that shows the additional Box 12 for the test employee (Employee Self Service>Payroll>W-2/W-2c Forms
