@DrJume Ideas?

[DrJume]

I'm sorry for causing this trouble! This issue seems to happen only with Vue components which use expose/defineExpose but don't expose a custom $el property.

It's very likely to be caused by a bug in Vue.js:

• in operator not working correctly with component instance exposeProxy vuejs/core#6137

Thank you for your insight! I submitted a PR in vuejs/core to fix the underlying? issue.

• fix(runtime-core): in operator returning false for built-in instance properties in exposeProxy (fix #6137) vuejs/core#6138
