Config via Ansible vars not resolving templating

[onefourfive]

SUMMARY

When I set ansible_hashi_vault_ variables as below, they are taken literally and not templated:

ansible_hashi_vault_url: "{{ vault_fqdn }}"
ansible_hashi_vault_token_path: "{{ lookup('env', 'HOME') }}/.vault-ansible/"
ansible_hashi_vault_token_file: "token-{{ zone }}"

In a case where all but url is specified as lookup keywords, and we intentionally omit the scheme, you can see the templating makes it into the error message:

localhost | FAILED! => {
    "msg": "An unhandled exception occurred while running the lookup plugin 'community.hashi_vault.hashi_vault'. 
Error was a <class 'requests.exceptions.MissingSchema'>, original message: 
Invalid URL '{{ vault_fqdn }}/v1/internal/data/tf': No scheme supplied. Perhaps you meant https://{{ vault_fqdn }}/v1/internal/data/tf?. 
Invalid URL '{{ vault_fqdn }}/v1/internal/data/tf': No scheme supplied. Perhaps you meant https://{{ vault_fqdn }}/v1/internal/data/tf?"
}

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Create a vars file specifying config with templating.
2. Try to perform a lookup without specifying config keywords.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Templating should work so that I can work with different vault clusters and configs in a playbook run as necessary.

ACTUAL RESULTS

Errors result from template attempts. Only literal values are used.
