Not A Bug Disable fails against moves with no PP remaining

What type of bug are you reporting? Mechanics

What is the bug?
The move Disable failed for a reason not listed as a valid reason for it to fail.

Specifically, against the move Thunderclap.

I'm told it works properly against Sucker Punch, so logically it should work on Thunderclap.

Are you able to replicate it? If so, how?
In a VGC 2024 Reg G match, this took place:

Raging Bolt used Thunderclap!
But it failed!
Scream Tail used Disable!
But it failed!

A different move had previously been Disabled, and that disable had since expired. I attempted 2 or 3 times to disable Thunderclap, but it did not work. Encore was also involved at some point.
