Booting a BootHASH

I'm getting this error in Raku in code from my latest project. I have no idea how to solve this one. Can someone help?

Cannot stringify this object of type VMHash (BOOTHash)

To see this error, clone p6-ICal and checkout the 'boothashcrash' branch, and execute the following from the project directory:

raku -Ilib -e 'use ICal::Raw::Definitions

No other projects needed! :)

Things I've tried:

  1. Nuking rakudo (I should never need to take this step.... ever...)
  2. Removing lib/.precomp
  3. Removing META6.json
  4. Removing all added references to %?RESOURCES

I don't know how I ran into this. I started by writing code...particularly messing with %?RESOURCES. One second the code was compiling fine, 5 minutes of changes later, this happened.

Turned out the error was a '\' at the end of the file. This error is definitely LTA.
