/setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:birch_sign{front_text:{messages:['{"selector":"@a"}','""','""','""']}}
Observed behavior:
The sign shows @a
Expected behavior:
The sign shows names of players in the world

Is it possible this is limited to waxed signs?
I have tested both waxed and unwaxed signs. I have also tested different types of sign and different ways of placing or editing the sign. It all exhibits the same behavior.
