SDK 8.1.0 Compiler BUG: misleading compiler error!

I'm getting this error "Permission 'BluetoothLowEnergy' required for '$.Toybox.BluetoothLowEnergy.ScanResult.equals'." even though my app has nothing to do with BLE and used to compile fine. The code it is complaining about is the case statements for constants that are enums:

var prop = Properties.getValue(dataViews[i]);
switch (prop) {
    case DATA_VIEW_DAILY:
    case DATA_VIEW_DAILY_WIND:
    case DATA_VIEW_DAILY_PRECIPITATION:
    case DATA_VIEW_DAILY_GRAPH_TEMP_POP:
    case DATA_VIEW_DAILY_GRAPH_WIND_PRESS:
        // not allowed
        Properties.setValue(dataViews[i], DATA_VIEW_HOURLY);
        break;
    default:
        break;
}

I agree that that error is bad (as in unhelpful), but as flocsy said, it's understandable (meaning that it's there for a reason.)

And it did reveal an actual problem in the code (like I said, the lack of a null check). If Properties.getValue() ever returns null, that code will crash (regardless of the as Number cast.)

Like I said, in the past, AppBase.getProperty() has returned null in unexpected cases (like if the user submitted app settings with an invalid value, all settings properties would be returned as null.) So I wouldn't count on Properties.getValue() never returning null.
