It seems to be a bug with the new way strings are handled in anymatch 3.1.3. On line 50 of index.js, false is now provided as the second parameter to normalizePath().

https://github.com/micromatch/anymatch/blob/master/index.js#L50

Adding the following values to the root level package.json corrects the issue:

Note that npm install must be run explicitly if node_modules does not exists yet.

{
  "overrides": {
    "brunch": {"anymatch": "3.1.2"},
    ".": {"anymatch": "3.1.2"}
  }
}

I've found the issue, submitted a patch, and alerted the maintainers of the dependency to watch their semver.

It's worth noting here that a workaround was committed in a20d6a2 and released in 4.0.2 (Jan 10).
