When I create a character having a background (e.g. Sage) that gives '.... and a pouch containing 10gp', the gp are added to the inventory, but the pouch is not. This is not limited to this one background, although a newer background like 'Witherbloom Student' does add a pouch.

Hmmm yes this happens sometimes, they must have forgot to add that.
