Repeating Command blocks don't work properly when loaded in from a structure block

Activated repeating command blocks that require redstone will not be activated when loaded in with a structure block

Steps to reproduce

1. Place a structure block to save a certain radius area.

2. Place a repeating command block within that area with the setting: Needs redstone

3. Place down a redstone block within the save radius that activates the repeating command block

4. Save the structure

5. Load in the structure somewhere else
   -> The repeating command block will not be activated despite being attached to a redstone block. It will only be activated when the redstone block is updated/replaced.

Workaround (provided by original reporter)

Place a repeating command block that is always active. Have it execute a /fill command which will then /fill ~ ~ ~ ~1 ~ ~ redstone_block, thus, deleting the repeating block and activating a series of chain commands that will run only 1 time after the command as executed.
