editorconfig-emacs Error from `editorconfig-get-properties-function`

I'm using GNU Emacs 30.0.93 (with the Prelude distribution) and editorconfig 20241027.1815 on macOS 15.2. As soon as I load a .editorconfig file, I get this error:

*ERROR*: Error thrown from editorconfig lib: "Error from editorconfig-get-properties-function: (error \"Error while reading config file: /Users/antonin/Tarides/ocaml/trunk/.editorconfig:6:
    [
\")"

I'm currently unable to use the editorconfig plugin with Emacs.

It seems that this library cannot recover from reading a (even transiently) syntactically incorrect file.

Could you show the content of that .editorconfig file?

What happened is that I saved the file without finishing it. The plugin would then spam me with warnings, turning Emacs somewhat unresponsive. I cannot switch buffers because of this.
