If you change the name of the quadcopter body in Isaacsim,
from body → any name,
and set it back to
any name - > body.

Steps to reproduce

Change the prim xform name
body → any_name,
and set it back to
any_name → body.

If anyone is suffering from a similar problem,

move out your prims to which you want to apply forces,
and return it back to its parent.

It fixes the problem, although it does not solve the underlying problem.
