This is not related to Dynamic FPI, but is a valid bug in the UI.

"Cookies from unvisited websites" will block the third-party cookies in the two third-party iframes since the user hasn't visited them. Some of those third parties may also be trackers, but their cookies are blocked until the user visits the tracking site as a first party.

The "Block All Third-Party Cookies" UI makes sense for this policy as well: we can display "Third-party cookies" instead of "Cross-site Tracking Cookies" as the top-level category in the Protections UI (and include it under Blocked). Then the foldout will separate the blocked cookies into "Third-party Cookies" and "Cross-site Tracking Cookies". Then, if a user visits sites from either category, they will no longer be included in the list of origins (and not displayed under the "Allowed" section).
