WebPack 5.62.0 raises "Unexpected token: punc ()) "

[Carsten-Leue]

After upgrading to 5.62.0 I am getting:

ERROR in main.js
main.js from Terser plugin

Compiling the identical project with 5.61.0 is working without errors.

const webpack = require('webpack');

module.exports = {
  entry: './index.js',
  devtool: 'source-map',
  target: 'node14',
  mode: 'production',
  resolve: {
    extensions: ['.js'],
  },
  plugins: [
    new webpack.BannerPlugin({
      banner: '#!/usr/bin/env node',
      raw: true,
    }),
  ],
};

Could you disable optimization.minimize: true and look into line main.js:41529?

I am also seeing this error after upgrading from 5.61 to 5.62
