Type conversion error when switching to a nested module (julia 1.9)

[krynju]

julia versions 1.9.0, 1.9.1
remoterepl 0.2.17

everything generally works fine, the error just pops up when you switch to a nested module
did not occur on julia 1.6, didn't check other versions

julia@localhost> %module A.B
ERROR: MethodError: Cannot `convert` an object of type Expr to an object of type Symbol

Closest candidates are:
  convert(::Type{T}, ::T) where T
   @ Base Base.jl:64
  Symbol(::Any...)
   @ Base strings/basic.jl:229
