Yes. This is happening for me as well. Had the confession scene before meeting Araj. No separate thank you scene and his romance greetings did not update. Hopefully they don't remove or change the timing of the confession scene before talking to Araj. I prefer it to the one you get talking to her first (which is what triggered it on my first playthrough), just a fix to the romance greetings not updating. I'm at the end of Act 3 (good DU, non-ascended Astarion romance) and I never had those greetings trigger, I was hoping maybe they added them to the final romance greetings but unfortunately they did not.
