iTMSTransporter 4.1: --assetDescription fails with “No value present”

Until recently, I was able to upload my app with iTMSTransporter version 4.1.0 with the following command:

/usr/local/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter -m upload -jwt {x.y.z} -v eXtreme \
-assetFile /Users/abc/Downloads/build.ipa \
-assetDescription /Users/abc/Downloads/AppStoreInfo.plist

Starting this week, with iTMSTransporter version 4.1.0, the command fails with the following error:

[2025-09-03 11:38:02 GET] <main> ERROR: No value present
Package Summary:
1 package(s) were not uploaded because they had problems:
    /Users/abc/Downloads/build.ipa - Error Messages:
        No value present

The same command still works when using the iTMSTransporter bundled with the Transporter app (version 4.0), so the issue appears to be specific to 4.1.

Any guidance or confirmation from others experiencing this would be much appreciated.
