The ombox template is used on project, help, user and talk pages.
Examples can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Ombox

On mobile these appear like so without modification:
Steps to Reproduce
Visit a page in Minerva using ombox template:
e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Ombox
Expected Results
- The issue is displayed in the new page issues treatment
Actual Results
- The issue is displayed as part of the article content and not considered a page issue as it is not a page issue.
However, this is inconsistent with treatment of other message boxes outside the main namespace e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2000
The underlying template has plainlinks ombox ombox-style CSS classes but correctly none of these are recognized by the page issue parser. From the template documentation:
This is the {{Ombox}} ([O]ther pages [m]essage [box]) metatemplate.
It is used to build message box templates for pages of the types User, Wikipedia, MediaWiki, Template, Help, Portal and any new future namespaces; i.e. for page types not covered by {{Ambox}}, {{Tmbox}}, {{Imbox}} or {{Cmbox}}. Thus, it should not be used for boxes for articles, talk pages, image pages or category pages.
The ombox or ombox-style CSS classes should be added to the parser. [see developer notes]

Developer notes
The ombox is not a page issue. It is a box of information about the page similar to cmbox, fmbox and tmbox (category, file and talk)
Treatment of these boxes rather than being consistent with page issues, should in fact be consistent with treatment of the tmbox for which we continue to use the old treatment
e.g.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2000
However, there are many templates that use the Template:Ambox for things other than issues. Examples include Template:Fbox, Template:Sbox, Template:Tmbox, Template:Imbox. We will probably want to review all those usages in conjunction with the ombox.
