react-native 0.57.1 bundle fails trying to assign a value to read only property 'undefined'

Question

When releasing a CodePush release, I am running into this issue.

$ appcenter codepush release-react \
  --deployment-name=Staging \
  --token=$APPCENTER_ACCESS_TOKEN \
  --description "$(git show -q)" \
  --disable-duplicate-release-error \
  --app=$APP_NAME

Using the target binary version value "0.0.1" from "android/app/build.gradle".

Running "react-native bundle" command:

Error: Failed to release a CodePush update.
Exited with code 3

I have explored a bit, but the mentioned line seems to point to https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/local-cli/bundle/buildBundle.js#L39 which is a simple NODE_ENV overwrite:

  process.env.NODE_ENV = args.dev ? 'development' : 'production';

Do you have any idea where that issue is coming from?

Here is more information:

node:8.10
yarn install v1.5.1
[email protected]
"react-native": "0.57.1",
"react-native-code-push": "^5.4.0",

Update

I have narrowed it down to the following command failing:

./node_modules/.bin/react-native bundle --platform android --dev false --reset-cache --entry-file index.js --bundle-output ./android/app/build/generated/assets/react/release/index.android.bundle --assets-dest ./android/app/build/generated/res/react/release
