    OK yep, the cause of the error is the presence of the 'TMDLScripts' folder under *.SemanticModel/. Deleting that folder causes the error to go away. (It was not sufficient to disable the tmdlView feature, disabling the feature while the folder remained present produced the same error.)

     

    Possibly the presence of that folder would have been OK if it were in some other state, I'm unsure: as it was, it was completely empty, with an empty .pbi subfolder.

    EDIT EDIT: The very latest release, 2.140.1454, seems to have resolved this issue: no error is emitted and the empty TMDLScripts directory gets removed automatically on save.
