`RequestErrorCode.PLUGIN_ERROR` A request threw the exception:Invalid overlay change: no content to change `null`

Describe the bug

I see no lints showing up in some packages. Instead the logs contain:

The request analysis.updateContent failed with the following error:
RequestErrorCode.PLUGIN_ERROR
A request threw the exception:Invalid overlay change: no content to change
null
at:
#0      SocketCustomLintServerToClientChannel.sendCustomLintRequest (package:custom_lint/src/v2/server_to_client_channel.dart:273:11)

To Reproduce

Check out dart-lang/native@625ed30 and open pkgs/native_assets_builder/. The lints seem to work in pkgs/native_assets_cli/ but not in pkgs/native_assets_builder/. And I can't figure out why. The pubspecs and analysis_options.yaml seem the same.

(Sorry for the large repro, maybe the error message rings a bell, before I try to make the repro smaller.)

Expected behavior
Custom lints showing up in all packages.

N.b. I'm using pub workspaces.

Using riverpod_lint,

I got this error if run flutter pub upgrade after custom_lint analysis done.

Also other error if run Debug session right after open project in Vscode (before custom_lint analysis done)

[request, {id: 628, method: analysis.updateContent, params: {files: {D:\Projects\[removed]\custom_lint.log: {type: change, edits: [{offset: 2621245, length: 0, replacement:{}}]}}}}]

[response, {id: 628, error: {code: INVALID_OVERLAY_CHANGE, message: Invalid overlay change: invalid edit}, requestTime: 1751536154866}]

The request analysis.updateContent failed with the following error:

It seem custom_lint also watch custom_lint.log file to analysis?
So when error happen -> log to custom_lint.log -> send request analysis -> error happen INVALID_OVERLAY_CHANGE -> log to custom_lint.log -> ... -> Infinity loop?
