Help needed: The "data" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView. Received an instance of Node

Today I noticed that I can no longer build my app locally using ember build -prod. CI builds fine and ember server works without issues as well. This is the error I am seeing:

Build Error (Filter) in assets/auto-import-fastboot-4c714e85e4221f8fc7a6c5c479aab887.js

The "data" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer, TypedArray, or DataView. Received an instance of Node

The only file that starts with auto-import-fastboot-* is

find . -name 'auto-import-fastboot*'
./dist/assets/auto-import-fastboot.js

which is empty.

I am not sure if this is a fastboot or auto-import related error. And I don’t have a clue why I am starting to see this locally, but not on CI. Any ideas what might be going on?
