TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'Env')

Getting this error suddenly from CLI/Vscode/Cursor:

{"outcome":"error","message":"Cannot read properties of null (reading 'Env')","description":"An error occurred building the container."}

With the dockerfile:

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/base:1.2-ubuntu-22.04

Given I haven't upgraded the CLI in a while and this was working fine recently, I believe this is caused by a change to the base Docker image. Semi-confirmed by changing my base image to ubuntu:22.04 and it worked fine.

However, going to use this repo for the issue. If an image doesn't have an Env property, shouldn't the CLI still succeed?
