Phoenix always renders HTML with JS accept header

When I have a browser pipeline configured;

pipeline :browser do
  plug :accepts, ~w(js html)
  plug :fetch_session
  plug :fetch_flash
  plug :protect_from_forgery
  plug :put_secure_browser_headers
end

And a controller like the following;

def form(conn, _params) do
   # Always receiving "html" here
   IO.inspect get_format(conn)

  conn
   |> put_layout_formats(["html"])
   |> render(:form)
end

I expected that with a request accept header like text/javascript, application/javascript, application/ecmascript, application/x-ecmascript, */*; q=0.01, to render form.js.eex. But unfortunately it always renders form.html.eex.

One potential problem:

Phoenix.Controller.accepts/2:
