Unrecognised active scan policy name for job activeScan

I have a ZAP YAML file with multiple jobs, including activeScan-policy and activeScan. activeScan-policy defines a policy named testPolicy and activeScan uses it. Trying to run the plan fails with error:

25890 [main] ERROR org.parosproxy.paros.CommandLine - Unrecognised active scan policy name for job activeScan : testPolicy

Running -autocheck fails with the same error.

I'm running this in an image where the add-ons have the latest versions. I did not get this error in an older image. I also see that you added validation of the Scan Policy in 0.54.0. Perhaps it broke something? Is this a valid error or a bug?

Could you provide the actual yaml, with creds/URLs redacted

Here is a version of my YAML file with some env masked and some jobs removed. It still produces the error.

plan.yaml
