My 80KB .ovpn file won't import - "profile too large" error

I have a split tunnel .ovpn file that is 80KB (79,659 bytes as reported by Windows). When I try to import it into OpenVPN Connect I get the error PROFILE_PARSE_ERROR into='XXXXX.ovpn' : option_error: profile is too large.

According to the app's help pages, the max size of an .ovpn file is 250KB (large B). I also tried saving the file explicitly as UTF-8 encoding as the Help also suggests, but I get the same error.

Is this a bug in the app? I generated a non-split tunnel ovpn file for the exact same server, which is only 5KB, and I can connect without any problems.

The size limit of 250KB includes all external files referenced from the profile as well.
