BST Fails to Import Certain VTA Files

What it says on the tin, basically. I was trying to import a fresh decompile of HL2's Alyx.mdl. When this error occurs, the import stops. No lods are imported, no physics models, nothing past the base model.
Here's the error output:

SMD IMPORTER: now working on alyx_01 - Validated 85 bones against armature "alyx.qc_skeleton" Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Brett\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\import_smd.py", line 68, in execute self.num_files_imported = self.readQC(filepath, False, self.properties.doAnim, self.properties.makeCamera, self.properties.rotMode, outer_qc=True) File "C:\Users\Brett\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\import_smd.py", line 1101, in readQC import_file(1,"vta",FLEX,'VALIDATE') File "C:\Users\Brett\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\import_smd.py", line 1024, in import_file self.num_files_imported += (self.readDMX if path.endswith("dmx") else self.readSMD)(path,qc.upAxis,rotMode,False,type,target_layer=layer) File "C:\Users\Brett\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\import_smd.py", line 1235, in readSMD if line == "vertexanimation\n": self.readShapes() File "C:\Users\Brett\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\import_smd.py", line 915, in readShapes removeObject(vta_ref) File "C:\Users\Brett\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.80\scripts\addons\io_scene_valvesource\utils.py", line 321, in removeObject bpy.context.scene.collection.objects.unlink(obj) RuntimeError: Error: Object 'VTA vertices' not in collection 'Master Collection'

Files that produce this issue can be recreated by decompiling HL2's Alyx.MDL with the latest release of Crowbar (0.63 at the time).

What version of Blender are you using, and what version of the Blender Source Tools are you using? Not that I'll be able to help based on that information, but it would be nice for Artfunkel (the Blender Source Tools' main author) to know.
