Thanks for fixing, unfortunately I cannot update bwrap on this system. Glad to know it's being worked around.

Sadly, in the new release codex still asks for approvals left and right -- now because it says bubblewrap is not available. So, the fix didn't address the problem.

I stand corrected -- the problem was that my install was missing codex-resources/bwrap. Now it's all good.
