Summary:
Sample project here: https://github.com/UberJason/ShortcutsWatchOSBugs

In watchOS 5, a new background refresh task (WKIntentDidRunRefreshBackgroundTask) was introduced to run after an Intent extension is executed, since the Intent extension is a separate process. 

This refresh task is triggered correctly when running an Intent-based shortcut triggered by tapping a platter from the Siri watch face. However, the refresh task is NOT triggered when running an Intent-based shortcut using a Siri shortcut phrase.

Steps to Reproduce:
Run the sample project listed above, and follow the instructions in the README or in the iOS app screen. Reproduced for convenience here:
- In iOS Settings.app, ensure developer settings for shortcuts testing are set ("Display Recent Shortcuts" and "Display Donations on Lock Screen").
- Run the iOS app once, which triggers a donation and shows the shortcut on Spotlight.
- Run the watchOS app once, which sets a relevant shortcut and shows the shortcut on Siri Watch Face.
- In iOS Settings.app > Siri, create a voice shortcut for the "Do A foo" shortcut. The voice shortcut may be something like "Do It".
- Debug the watchOS app, which attaches the debugger to the WatchKit Extension.
- Go back to the Siri Watch Face, and invoke the shortcut, bringing up the confirmation dialog, and tap "Do".
- Notice that the debugger prints "Intent did run" from the WatchKit Extension.
- Invoke Siri by holding the digital crown, and then speak the voice shortcut (e.g. "Do It").
- Notice that the debugger does NOT print "Intent did run" from the WatchKit Extension.

Note that the intent extension *does* run successfully from a Siri voice shortcut. To verify this:
- Debug the watchOS shortcut in Xcode.
- Invoke Siri by holding the digital crown, and then speak the voice shortcut (e.g. "Do It").
- Notice that the debugger prints "Handled!", which is a print statement from the WatchIntentHandler.

Expected Results:
I expect the WKIntentDidRunRefreshBackgroundTask is triggered, as evidenced by the print statement "Intent did run". Also note, the Siri custom response does not display.

Actual Results:
The WKIntentDidRunRefreshBackgroundTask is not triggered, and the print statement is not printed.
