Error: Heater Control Type for WaterHeater:Stratified must be CYCLE?

[bbrannon4]

Issue overview

I've got this error:

** Severe ** WaterHeater:HeatPump:WrappedCondenser = PLANTHEATPUMPWATERHEATER:
** ~~~ ** Heater Control Type for WaterHeater:Stratified = WATER HEATER TANK must be CYCLE.

on a fairly simple model, where I have I think completely copied the heat pump water heater components from the WaterHeaterHeatPumpWrappedCondensor example file (which has both a wrapped condenser heater and a stratified water heater tank, just like my model). This is why this error is confusing me, because it says the tank must have a cycle control, but that is only available in a WaterHeater:Mixed, not a WaterHeater:Stratefied - and somehow this combination is working fine int he example file. I wasn't able to find anything explaining the requirement in the documentation, so I'm at a bit of a loss. Any idea what might trigger this requirement in the heat pump settings or somewhere else?

File provided was at version 9.0. Added that to DevSupport, transitioned to 9.3.0, removed a ScheduleFile. File will fatal out for another reason (wrong branchlist objects), but it still does exhibit the severe mentioned above.
