Summary
When using player markers, the beacon won’t turn off even if set to hidden. All players are getting giant light beams attached to them.

Steps to Reproduce
Add 4 markers, 1 for each team.
Set the beacon to hidden for each one.
Use an icon with a different color for each team.
Assign the correctly colored icons to the correct team number:
team 1: blue
team 2: red
team 3: yellow
team 4: green
Set the marker to show for any team, any class.
Play in multiplayer so you can see the beacons.
Expected Result
Display a team colored colored icon over players’ heads.
Observed Result
All players have a big light beam and/or bright visual glowing effect attached to them. The properly colored icons are also showing over the players heads for the first player. (I think it’s not for the other players because they joined after game started, but that is a different issue.)

Additional Notes
I have tried this with many different settings configurations. I had the beacon colors set to black and also transparent, but this makes no difference and the result is always the same. I have the markers off for the island code above for now, because it kind of ruins the experience.
Note: The light beams look like light beams on lower settings and a different type of vfx with glowy effects with higher graphics settings. All of that is supposed to be hidden though.
