[MCPE-121237] Powered rails don't work if minecart is really slow

Equivalent bug on Java: MC-100954

Steps to reproduce

See image so that these steps make more sense.
/fill ~ ~ ~ ~100 ~ ~ rail
Replace the 1st and 79th rails with a powered rail (/tp ~78 ~ ~ while standing on the 1st rail)
Power the 79th (powered) rail
Setup minecart launcher at the 1st rail
Sit in a minecart and launch
→ ❌ The minecart does not get boosted at the 79th rail despite clearing it (it will clear the rail, I promise)

The powered rail does stop the minecart however, if it is unpowered.

Also faced the same bug, still not working as intended on 01/April/25.
