That was a fun and confusing one to track down. :)

I was overwriting the message property on Error, with the message to sign (after it was converted to bytes).

The CI is currently running, and once it passes I'll publish it.

This has been fixed in [v5.7.1](release: https://github.com/ethers-io/ethers.js/releases/tag/v5.7.1). Try it out and let me know if you still have any problems.

Thanks! :)
