Thanks for reporting this issue. As Amit said, it is happening due to
block_id mismatch. Attached is the patch that fixes the same. I
apologise for such a silly mistake. Please note that  I was not able
to reproduce the issue on my local machine using the test script you
shared. Could you please check with the attached patch if you are
still seeing the issue. Thanks in advance.
