I have already seen it with this KB, and in this forum, it was installed with a small recovery partition of around 500MB. A person had done a clean install on December 29 before installing the KB. It's a mystery too but good for you.
Edit: You should know that Microsoft does not give a recovery partition size for the KB to be installed, just increase the partition by 250MB if the KB is not installed. So the kb can install and not install on any size depending on the computer settings, which mystery.

I don't think it has been pulled. It's still being offered on my work computer every morning when an update check takes place, including this morning. There is a record of a failed attempt in my update history for every day I've worked since it was released. I've hidden it on my own machines, but unfortunately don't have the privileges required to do so on my work desktop. I've alerted our IT dept. Their prob, not mine. :)
I was playing with it again on the Lenovo laptop showing a person what to expect and somehow it worked this time. Why it worked this time and not before is beyond me. When I retried it on the two HP Mini desktops, it still failed. The only difference in the Recovery partition size between the Lenovo and HPs is that the Lenovo laptop has a 1GB Recovery partition while the HPs have a 980mb partition size. So possibly 1GB is the magic number for the size of the Recovery partition. I will bone up on how to extend the Recovery partition on the HPs to 1.5GB (just to play safe) and see what happens. When I listed the info on the Lenovo Recovery partition using MiniTool Partition Wizard, it only shows that the "marker" was updated. Not sure if that is correct.

I'm running 22H2 (OS Build 19045.3930). But what I get from the command is completely strange:
