Problem configuring Cyclone 10 LP in Passive Serial mode

I am using a custom board. The reason the Status_n and Config_n always pulse low is because I have chosen such an option for the Parallel Flash Loader Configuration load:

Configuration failure: Retry same page

If the Configuration failure option is set to "Halt on error" there is no pulsing low of the Status_n and Config_n as there is no retry in this case. Note that for the first configuration attempt, the Config_n and Status_n do not pulse low before configuration starts, as per the Intel PGL User Guide document. This is consistent with the signal waveforms I am getting from the SignaTap analyser of the Max 10.
