Public Tag not giving correct pips if started as private squad in wvw

I tagged up last night for about an hour and a half. I started the squad as private with 4 people (counting myself). Once i got to 8 I changed to public (again counting myself). After maybe a half hour of play I had close to 20 in squad but it was still just giving me the 1 pip for commander and not the 3 for commander of a public squad with 10+. The game didn't seem to recognize that I had changed from private to public.

I double checked to make sure I had changed it to public.
