We've published an updated release of BI Developer Extensions for Visual Studio 2019 that resolves this issue. Please note the compatible SSIS extension version.

Note that I did notice some flakiness in the Expressions window during my testing. Closing the Expressions window, clicking onto an SSIS package, then reopening the Expressions window (or worst case restarting Visual Studio) usually resolved the issue. Let me know if the new version plus these suggestions don't help you.
