<dirty> marker always showing up and never replaced

[jpschewe]

Using gradle 7.5.1 and git 2.34.1 on Linux

Build file:

// -*- java -*-

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
}    

plugins {
    id "java"
    id "distribution"

    // needs to use old plugin mechanism otherwise I can't set the extra properties   
    // https://github.com/Nasdaq/semver-git
    // execute showVersion task to see what the version will be   
    id "com.cinnober.gradle.semver-git" version "2.3.1" apply false
}

//foo
// needs to use old plugin mechanism otherwise I can't set nextVersion and snapshotSuffix
//ext.nextVersion = "patch" // "major", "minor" (default), "patch" or e.g. "3.0.0-rc2"
ext.dirtyMarker = "-dirty" // (default) replaces <dirty> in snapshotSuffix
ext.snapshotSuffix = "beta.<count>+g<sha><dirty>" // "SNAPSHOT" (default) or a pattern, e.g. "<count>.g<sha><dirty>-SNAPSHOT"
// optionally: ext.gitDescribeArgs = '--match *[0-9].[0-9]*.[0-9]*' (default) or other arguments for git describe.

// must be after the ext.* variables are set
apply plugin: "com.cinnober.gradle.semver-git"

repositories {
    mavenCentral()

I expected the first execution to replace "" with "-dirty". The second execution should not have "" in it at all.
