Not sure if a single minimal example makes a bug to state RC. There is
currently no solution form upstream bug a simple work around: load

\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor} before \usepackage{fancyvrb}

The issue is caused by the fact that fancyvrb loads xcolor, but w/
options by default. AFAICT this example is not the only one where the
load order of the packages does matter.
