Additional context It happens all the time,

This problem also repeats it self on a BC 14 container with Convert-ModifiedObjectsToAl - exactly the same issue. I believe it is caused by the objects. But exporting as text, importing as text + compile, doesn't change any change. Same error.

Puzzling indeed.

Would it be possible to send the ba.fob to me (freddyk at microsoft dot com) for repro?

[freddydk]

I tried without - no problem

[freddydk]

please reopen with repro files if I am to investigate this, thanks
