Input hangs, no messages visible about converse.js HOT 4 OPEN

Confirming this behavior

Loading Converse.js from https://cdn.conversejs.org/10.1.6/dist/converse.min.js

Initializing it with the bellow, then manually entering websocket connection (but behavior appears the same regardless of display mode or other parameters):

converse.initialize({
    view_mode: "embedded",
    show_controlbox_by_default: true});

Can join private chats and MUCs. When typing the "is typing" status message is sent, but when enter key or send button is pressed, text input greys out and locks. No websocket messages are sent, and nothing is logged to console when hitting send. Clicking on a different chat will reset text input, but nothing is sent. Incoming messages are also not displayed.

Doesn't happen in 10.1.5

The Converse source files are broken up into so-called chunks (via Webpack), which are loaded asynchronously and on-demand.

The error above is that the emojis chunk couldn't be loaded. Without emojis loaded, various things will break.

Why it's not loaded I don't know, could be that not all files that should be in ./dist are there, or perhaps the file is blocked by a browser add-on (e.g. adblock or something).
