False positive remote export is invalid error #14515
Description
Describe the bug
Hey @sveltejs Team 👋,
I got this annoying error with the dev server since a few releases, and I'm surprised no one has reported this before (I thought someone would report this since then).
Even if the exports of my ledger.remote.ts are only remotes. I'm sure this is a bug, because if I change just 1 character inside this file (even just by adding a space in the code), everything works perfectly again until the next vite dev restart.
Reproduction
I tried for a few hours to reproduce this in a new repository, but I couldn't get to make this bug appear. I will continue to try, but I created this issue in the meantime. Maybe someone in the svelte team directly sees the origin?
Also, it is very easily reproducible in my codebase.
