Grow Island: String path in removeMovieClip doesn't resolve

[relrelb]

In Grow Island, when hearts are shown in the "Environmental" step of the solution, there is a heavy lag.

In DefineSprite 1044/frame 1/PlaceObject2 1043/onClipEvent(enterFrame), removeMovieClip is called with this as a string and not as an object, like in the rest of the code. As a result, action_remove_sprite mistakenly doesn't recognize the target as a movie clip, and doesn't remove it, causing a lag. Adding GetVariable after Push "this" works as expected and removes the lag.

I'm not sure how to fix it, but it seems that invoking resolve_target_path from resolve_target_display_object with first_element set to true solves the issue.

Trying a simple test with removeMovieClip("this"); doesn't seem to remove the clip; not sure what the difference is, so requires some more investigation.

With the 13th of January 2021 release as a Firefox extension it works flawlessly for me on Windows 10

While most of the time the game works properly, there are some situations like mentioned above which cause lags.

Unfortunately, this bug still occurs.

Apparently, this is fixed between nightly-2021-01-16 and nightly-2021-01-17. However, the only commit between them (c2b768c) doesn't seem related.
Also, this occurs only on web.
@Herschel Do you have any idea how it was resolved?

My guess would be #2636 since this was an obfuscated SWF and I believe the code was in an onClipEvent handler, but haven't bisected myself.
