VS Code cannot find similar task, only the last one - visual-studio-code

Question

The closest to my issue is this SO question, but I think something else is going on here. I have two launch configurations each which call a similar preLaunch task, start-local and start-dev. The body of these two tasks is almost identical, except that VS Code can only find whichever of these is declared last in the task.json file. I tested this by duplicating the first task and simply changing the label, and none but the last task can ever be found. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Pasting my configs for reference:
