See original GitHub issue

TypeScript Version: 2.4.1 / nightly (2.5.0-dev.20170707)

Code gulpfile.js

// A *self-contained* demonstration of the problem follows...
gulp.task('compile-ts', () => {
	const ts = require('gulp-typescript');
	const tsProject = ts.createProject('./tsconfig.json');
	tsProject.options.module = 1;
	const dest = tsProject.options.outDir;
	return gulp.src('./src/**/*.ts')
		.pipe(tsProject())
		.pipe(gulp.dest(dest));
});

tsc works fine.
do not depend on fp-ts, fantasyland and monet
if i compile my ts files separately(1 ts file per time), also there is no exception.
i have searched all the issues already and found no clue. like https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/14628#issuecomment-314133082
