Question regarding “woocommerce_new_order” hook

I’m using this code in my functions.php file:

function custom_woocommerce_order($order_id) {
    if (!$order_id) {
        return;
    }

    $order = wc_get_order($order_id);
    $order->update_status('processing');
}

add_action('woocommerce_new_order', 'custom_woocommerce_order');

This code is working but it prevents new order email notifications from displaying ordered items. Is this a bug or is it supposed to work like that?
