prlctl only tells me the IPv4 address of a machine after a >10 mins delay

I run the following command to get the IP address of a VM when it boots:
Code: 
prlctl list <vm> --all --no-header -o ip
This code returns with the ipv6 addresses very quickly, but then takes some time to start displaying the ipv4 address. When I go into the VM console I can see the VM got a DHCP ipv4 address almost immediately. Unfortunately I need the IP address outside of the VM in order to automate an ssh login to the VM so this results in a long delay in my workflow.
Is there any work-around for this?

Hi, are you using the Bridged network mode?
 
Just to add, if it was bridged I would not expect Parallels to have any knowledge of the IP address, since it never supplied it to the VM and was supplied by my router/dhcp server instead.

Please sorry for the misunderstanding.
Could you reproduced the issue and collect tech report right after that please?
Looking forward to your reply and tech report ID.
