I had a similar error when I upgraded to 1.4.2 (I don't remember the
exact text now, but it had something to do with the <default> cell)
The fix ended up being adding a blank line to ThisCell. Everything
worked fine with previous versions without the extra newline, but
something must have changed in 1.4.2 that made it required.
