Unable to have noneSelectedText with HTML with latest version

[kpagcha]

I used to have a none selected text with an icon that looked just fine:

<select multiple id="team-filter" class="selectpicker" data-empty-label="<span class='mr-2 small'><i class='far fa-people-group'></i></span>Teams">

const $filter = $(this);
const isLongList = $filter.find('option').length > 10;
$filter.selectpicker({
    styleBase: 'll-btn ll-filter-btn btn sm',
    dropupAuto: true,
    noneSelectedText: $filter.data('empty-label'),
    hideDisabled: true,
    liveSearch: isLongList,
    liveSearchPlaceholder: isLongList ? "Search option" : null,
    actionsBox: isLongList,
    selectAllText: `<span class="mr-1"><i class="fal fa-circle-check"></i></span>Select All`,
    deselectAllText: `<span class="mr-1"><i class="fal fa-circle-minus"></i></span>Deselect All`,
    width: 'auto',
    selectOnTab: true,
    dropdownAlignRight: 'auto'
});

But now it renders as text instead of HTML.

Using sanitize: false does nothing.
