P: Enhance Details causes cut out colored squares

I was trying out the new Enhance Details function on Lightroom 8.2, and it is working well on some images, but on other images, it creates the new file, but totally messes it up by cutting out a square in one part of the image, and then other green, blue and magenta squares of the same size are placed randomly in other parts of the image.

This doesn't happen on all files (and it isn't consistent as to which files...two shots taken minutes apart with the same camera and lens, and one it won't process correctly, but the other it will.  If it messes up on a file, it always messes up in the same way if you try again. It doesn't matter whether GPU processing is enabled or not.

    I'm seeing similar behavior on MacOS 10.13.6.

    It's a preference when building the profiles in that software. Doubt that's it but worth checking as V4 profiles and LR don't always get along.

    when opening the converted DNG in Photoshop directly, I still get the cut out square s and colored overlays, but they are in a different location than when viewed in Lightroom, or when round-tripped through Lightroom (viewed in LR and round-tripped through LR show them in the same spots...opening that same DNG in photoshop directly, opens CameraRAW and shows the squares in different locations.)

    If I open the original RAW file in CameraRAW and do Enhance Details, I get squares in yet a different location, though when trying to complete the import on that one, I get a photoshop Program Error, and it won't open the enhanced version it just created.

    I am not sure what version my display profile is.  How would I determine it?  Mine is a custom profile through i1 Profiler and the i1 DisplayPro colorimeter. But, as you can see by the file attached, it isn't just something that is displayed incorrectly on my computer,

    Latest version of Windows? Enhance Details requires macOS 10.13 (or later) or, Windows 10 (Oct 2018 Release)

    Not sure what the first part has to do with my issue...when it works, it's working very well, but obviously having large portions cut out of my files isn't exactly workable.

    As noted, the issue is the same whether the Use Graphics Processor is checked or not.

    Adding to the oddity, when opening the converted DNG in Photoshop directly, I still get the cut out square s and colored overlays, but they are in a different location than when viewed in Lightroom, or when round-tripped through Lightroom (viewed in LR and round-tripped through LR show them in the same spots...opening that same DNG in photoshop directly, opens CameraRAW and shows the squares in different locations.)

    Both running Windows?
    I wonder if this might be another display profile issue although it should be consistent one way or the other. Version 2 or 4 ICC display profile?
