Instagram OAuth API returns "insufficient_dev_role" 400 error

I have a Facebook app in Live mode, that has passed review and has Instagram Basic Display set up, having passed review for the following permissions: instagram_graph_user_profile and instagram_graph_user_media.

According to the documentation, if I visit https://api.instagram.com/oauth/authorize?app_id=[my app ID]&redirect_uri=[My app redirect URL]&scope=user_profile,user_media&response_type=code in a browser and authenticate, I should be redirected back to my redirect URL with a code.

However, if I try that with any user who I have not explicitly set up as an Instagram Tester, I receive the following error, even though my app is in Live mode:

{
"error_type": "OAuthException",
"code": 400,
"error_message": "insufficient_dev_role"
}

Note that another similar question was asked a few months ago - the difference in this case is that my app is in Live mode, and therefore should allow any user to authorise via OAuth, while for the other question the app was still in Development mode, so the issue was adding appropriate Instagram Testers.
