Andrew, you are using snapshots. Those are at the head of active development. When we make big changes, there is a lag until all the parts fit together. This is well documented all over the place. Between 6-month releases, you can expect snapshots to experience this approximately 2-10 times. Because ... it isn't a problem, it is how active development works in a system that changes binary interfaces to make advancements.
