AttributeError: 'QuantumCircuit' object has no attribute '_parameter_table'

Informations

Qiskit Experiments version: 0.7.0
Python version: 3.10.10
Operating system: Windows

What is the current behavior?

I set up a now environment with qiskit, qiskit-experiment and want to run the 1Q RB code. The import is godd, but the expdata1 = exp1.run(backend).block_for_results() raise up an AttributeError:

Code

from qiskit_experiments.framework import ParallelExperiment, BatchExperiment
import qiskit.circuit.library as circuits

# For simulation
from qiskit_aer import AerSimulator
from qiskit_ibm_runtime.fake_provider import FakePerth

backend = AerSimulator.from_backend(FakePerth())

lengths = np.arange(1, 800, 200)
num_samples = 10
seed = 1010
qubits = [0]

# Run an RB experiment on qubit 0
exp1 = StandardRB(qubits, lengths, num_samples=num_samples, seed=seed)
expdata1 = exp1.run(backend).block_for_results()
results1 = expdata1.analysis_results()

# View result data
print("Gate error ratio: %s" % expdata1.experiment.analysis.options.gate_error_ratio)
display(expdata1.figure(0))
for result in results1:
    print(result)

Steps to reproduce the problem

With the same environment, run

import numpy as np
from qiskit_experiments.library import StandardRB, InterleavedRB
from qiskit_experiments.framework import ParallelExperiment, BatchExperiment
import qiskit.circuit.library as circuits

# For simulation
from qiskit_aer import AerSimulator
from qiskit_ibm_runtime.fake_provider import FakePerth

backend = AerSimulator.from_backend(FakePerth())

lengths = np.arange(1, 800, 200)
num_samples = 10
seed = 1010
qubits = [0]

# Run an RB experiment on qubit 0
exp1 = StandardRB(qubits, lengths, num_samples=num_samples, seed=seed)
expdata1 = exp1.run(backend).block_for_results()
results1 = expdata1.analysis_results()

# View result data
print("Gate error ratio: %s" % expdata1.experiment.analysis.options.gate_error_ratio)
display(expdata1.figure(0))
for result in results1:
    print(result)

What is the expected behavior?

Same as https://qiskit-community.github.io/qiskit-experiments/manuals/verification/randomized_benchmarking.html shows.
