Thanks for the report, I've reproduced and am planning to address via #9395.

[ashovlin]

This should be addressed in today's release of 2.25.2. Let us know if you're still seeing issues.

Hi @ashovlin I can confirm that I can successfully compile with version 2.25.2

Thanks for the speedy response!
