Grails 3.3.2 / Hot Reloading / Unexpected Error While trying to call the static initializer

Question

When I make changes to a controller, it appears hot reloading is breaking with the following errors:

Not sure how to access the full stacktrace but it looks like this is happening for Spring Security classes with the @GrailsCompileStatic annotation. I've the following configurations:

• Grails 3.3.2
• spring-security-core plugin v3.3.2
• spring-security-rest plugin v2.0.0.M2; and
• JVM 1.8

Update: It appears this error is happening after I make changes in my controller and then run the compile command from the grails interactive prompt.
