SEE Tier VI Journey Guide

No, as far as i know the issue is only when ability is unlocked.

Description says otherwise.

Tier VI, V and IV Strategy tips:

-Sith Eternal Emperor will have his Ultimate ability given to him even if you have not unlocked it. He will gain Ultimate Charge whenever Rey or Ben Solo take damage and at end of his turns.

I just experienced this same issue. Lost 70 tickets due to it, realized that it must be a bug and came here to check on it. I did not capture a screenshot because I was certain that I made a mistake, and that I must have been in a lower tier and not using my tickets. I was wrong. I went in with SEE, Emperor Palpatine, and Darth Vader as my units. This was my fifth time doing the mission, every other time I have done it has gone flawlessly until today.

I used two teams, SEE+Vader+Count Dooku and SEE+EP+Vader. I checked now tier V and tier IV, same issue, no ultimate bar and button, i did this tiers before last update and it worked correctly.
