Error with Extension bundles: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'provider')

I created a sample Durable Function (TypeScript) and try to start it locally. The storage is emulated via Azurite. During start-up the error Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'provider') occurs.

The settings are:

Func CLI Version: 3.0.3734
node Version: v14.16.1

The log output with CLI_DEBUG=1 and verbose gives the following:

The host.json is:

{
  "version": "2.0",
  "logging": {
    "applicationInsights": {
      "samplingSettings": {
        "isEnabled": true,

    }
  },
  "extensionBundle": {
    "id": "Microsoft.Azure.Functions.ExtensionBundle",
    "version": "[2.*, 3.0.0)"
  }
}

The local.settings.json is:

{
  "IsEncrypted": false,
  "Values": {
    "AzureWebJobsStorage": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true",
    "FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME": "node"
  }
}

I found several other issues (like https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-core-tools/issues/2364 and https://github.com/Azure/azure-functions-core-tools/issues/2232) on that, but no consistent fix as func extensions install is a workaround.

I cross-checked via a simple HTTP triggered Function and removed the extension bundle there. Everything worked as expected there so probably an issue in the context of the extension bundle.
