I just got this on a fresh install as well, will take a look when I get a chance

Looks like it was fixed already in https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/pull/2400, should be out in the next release.

Also I don't believe it breaks anything, even though it looks a little scary. Thanks for opening up an issue!
