[Kotlin] Generated Epoxy Models not working anymore

After updating from 2.14.0 to 2.15.1 or anything newer (tried up to 2.16.2) using the generated Models directly instead of their Kotlin extension function will throw an Cannot create an instance of an abstract class exception.

This is especially frustrating for carousels since the provided withModelsFrom(...) extension function expects you to use the generatedWhateverViewModel_().id(...)... instead of the extension function which returns Unit.

Example EpoxyModel:

@EpoxyModelClass(layout = R2.layout.ui_recyclerview_epoxy_shift)
abstract class ShiftEpoxyModel : EpoxyModelWithHolder<ShiftEpoxyModel.ShiftViewHolder>() {
    @EpoxyAttribute
    var day: String = ""

    @EpoxyAttribute
    @StringRes
    var dayRes: Int? = null

    @EpoxyAttribute
    var beginDate: Date = Date()

    @EpoxyAttribute
    var endDate: Date = Date()

    override fun bind(holder: ShiftViewHolder) {
        super.bind(holder)
        ...
    }

    class ShiftViewHolder : EpoxyHolder() {
        lateinit var dayTextView: TextView
        lateinit var dateTextView: TextView
        lateinit var timeTextView: TextView

        override fun bindView(itemView: View) {
            dayTextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.day)
            dateTextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.date)
            timeTextView = itemView.findViewById(R.id.time)
        }
    }
}

In the controller

 shift {
                id("123")
                beginDate(beginDate)
                endDate(endDate)
}

works just fine,

 add(ShiftEpoxyModel_()
                    .id("123")
                    .beginDate(beginDate)
                    .endDate(endDate))

throws an Cannot create an instance of an abstract class exception.

Same thing when trying to create a carousel like this:

carousel {
            id("shifts-carousel")
            withModelsFrom(data.offer!!.shifts) {
                ShiftEpoxyModel_()
                        .id(it.toString())
                        .beginDate(it.beginDate)
                        .endDate(it.endDate)
            }
        }

Am i missing something ?
