(for future reference, ember-cli-babel 5.x depends on an older version of ember-cli-htmlbars-inline-precompiler. credit, as usual, to rwjblue for pointing this out.)

FWIW, I have a few changes outstanding to make this much more obvious and helpful:

• https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-cli-htmlbars-inline-precompile/pull/72 - To help folks using [email protected] with ember-cli-babel@5.
• https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-cli-htmlbars-inline-precompile/pull/73 - To help folks using [email protected] with ember-cli-babel@6.
