This fix has been merged and will be included in the next v13 release (13.0.3).

@PraveenFrancis, typically we wouldn’t backport this to v12 (which is an LTS version) based on our release policy, but since it was an easy/clean backport and we are releasing an LTS version to fix some other issues/regressions, I created #44309. So, the fix will eventually land to the v12 branch, but not sure when the next v12 release will be (could be in a month or so).

You’re right, forget to update the compiler-cli to 13.0.3 too. My fault, now it works!
