Hi Nicholas, Thanks for filing the bug. I suspect that the reason that falling back to compat 12 works is because it downgrades the issue to a warning (compat 12 defaulting to --list-missing vs. compat 13 defaulting to --fail-missing). Can you confirm that finding? Because then it is probably just the new default and not a regression. Obviously, that still leaves finding a solution to the problem, but for starters lets confirm whether or not this is a regression. Thanks, ~Niels
