Flutter localisation method not generating correctly with plural placeholder

Question

I'm currently localizing my flutter app using the intl package.

I have a localised text that contains two placeholders: userName and dayCount, where I have used the plural syntax for dayCount.

Here is the snippet from my .arb file:

  "prolongationRequested": "{userName} requested prolongation by {daysCount, plural, =1{1 day} other{{daysCount} days}}",
  "@prolongationRequested": {
    "placeholders": {
      "userName": {},
      "daysCount": {}
    }
  },

So far so good, but the auto generated method in the AppLocalizationsEn class completely ignores everything from the text except the daysCount placeholder. This is the generated method:

  String prolongationRequested(Object userName, num daysCount) {
    return intl.Intl.pluralLogic(
      daysCount,
      locale: localeName,
      one: '1 day',
      other: '$daysCount days',
    );
  }

My expectation would be for the method to look like this:

  String prolongationRequested(Object userName, num daysCount) {

    final String pluralString = intl.Intl.pluralLogic(
      daysCount,
      locale: localeName,
      one: '1 day',
      other: '$daysCount days',
    );

    return '$userName requested prolongation by ${pluralString}';
  }

Interestingly enough the method gets generated correctly if I remove one of the placeholders, or if I remove the plural syntax from daysCount.

Why is the method not being generated as expected?

You may adapt your plural on the prolongationRequested var inside the .arb file using this configuration or similar:

"{count,plural, =0{{count} sample0} =1{{count} sample1} =2{{count} sample2} few{{count} sampleFew} many{{count} sampleMany} other{{count} sampleOther}}"
