Using BCL OpenStudio Results SI Measure causes simulation failure

I am trying to use the OpenStudio Results Measure that is available on the BCL at https://bcl.nrel.gov/node/82918. I am trying to use this measure as it has been updated to include a choice to display results in SI units according to this thread - https://unmethours.com/question/15203/metric-reports-in-open-studio/.

I save the measure in the 'My Measures' directory but when I do so, using the measure in the GUI causes the simulation to fail. I do not know whether this is because it comes into conflict with the existing measure in the OpenStudio Application or for some other reason?

I can see when I remove the measure from the 'My Measures' directory, the symbol next to the reporting measure in the GUI changes from 'My' to 'BCL'.

When I have no measure in the 'My Measures' directory and the symbol in the GUI is 'BCL', then the simulation runs okay and the OpenStudio Results are displayed, but in Imperial Units. I do not know if this is a bug or (more likely) some kind of user error! Do I need to remove the original OpenStudio Results Measure from somewhere before I can use the OpenStudio Results measure found on the BCL?

Using OpenStudio Application 1.0 and core OpenStudio 3.0
