... why?

I use (title 'label) for more than a year and it works fine.

The reason for the error Luther encountered is because something is up with the gdm service.

And that's because of

                      (extend params (compose extensions)))

And I guess the extension/composition mechanism of gdm is broken.

There was a commit
