Snap sync never finishes (keeps pivoting)

[screw]

I am trying to run Ethereum classic node using the snap sync mode

System information

./geth version
CoreGeth
Version: 1.12.7-stable
Git Commit: a374c2e8243a7ce07715b2f6da2022b818a59cb7
Architecture: amd64
Go Version: go1.18.2
Operating System: linux
GOPATH=
GOROOT=/opt/hostedtoolcache/go/1.18.2/x64

Expected behaviour

geth should be able to sync all blocks and start generating state.
Maybe unrelated information but I can sync ETH on this machine without a problem (using NVMe storage, 48CPUs, ..), so I don't think the I/O would be the reason.

Actual behaviour

Stuck in the following loop:

WARN [10-16|12:24:52.222] Pivot became stale, moving               old=16,150,847 new=16,150,911

With ETH I can see progress or at least the node is busy, but in the case of ETC it looks like the node is not doing anything.

I was expecting non-zero values for the syncing status.

> eth.syncing
{
  currentBlock: 16150910,
  healedBytecodeBytes: 0,
  healedBytecodes: 0,
  healedTrienodeBytes: 0,
  healedTrienodes: 0,
  healingBytecode: 0,
  healingTrienodes: 0,
  highestBlock: 16151031,
  startingBlock: 16148859,
  syncedAccountBytes: 0,
  syncedAccounts: 0,
  syncedBytecodeBytes: 0,
  syncedBytecodes: 0,
  syncedStorage: 0,
  syncedStorageBytes: 0
}

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Start ETC node with syncMode="snap"
