Dependency cycle with a V2 plugin

IntelliJ Platform
1

2025.3, also tested with 2026.1

In plugin.xml of a V2 plugin the IDE complained, that at least one required dependency is needed.
I made the following change, but that promptly broke the plugin because it created a dependency cycle.

If I understand correctly, the modules get an implicit dependency on the parent plugin (dev.j-a.swift@null), which creates the cycle.

Is my setup wrong or is it more likely a bug in the platform?

Change in main plugin.xml:

<!-- added loading="required" -->
<module name="noctule.core.shared" loading="required"/>

The dependencies of noctule.core.shared are:

    <dependencies>
        <module name="noctule.library.cloner"/>
        <module name="noctule.library.telemetry"/>
    </dependencies>

Both of these library modules have zero dependencies.
