freeradius-3.2.8-1.el9 fails to start

I have a Rocky Linux release 9.6 system running with:
freeradius-3.2.7-1.el9.x86_64
freeradius-mysql-3.2.7-1.el9.x86_64
freeradius-utils-3.2.7-1.el9.x86_64

I am using the networkradius repo:
[networkradius]
name=NetworkRADIUS-$releasever
baseurl=http://packages.networkradius.com/freeradius-3.2/rocky/$releasever/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.networkradius.com/pgp/packages%40networkradius.com

After doing a DNF update to my system today results in radiusd failing to
start.

/var/log/messages has what looks like some relevant error messages:
Aug 21 10:14:12 farmhand radiusd[2668739]: /etc/raddb/policy.d/filter[31]:
Invalid regular expression:

Aug 21 10:14:12 farmhand systemd[1]: radiusd.service: Failed with result
'exit-code'.

If I downgrade back to 3.2.7-1 the service starts as usual.

Am I missing a step in the upgrade or something?

Thanks,
