That's a bug. The problem is that the relevant pool files need some
special tools, so they can't be build during a regular build. I update
them manually. Will try for the next version (and of course for the
final release).

I guess that there was some bug which went away by making all formats
*.fmt (instead of .fmt, .efmt, .afmt, ...). This bug is not present in
the current beta.

Thanks for your report,
