"Node connections in branch are not consistent with object nodes" when modeling a ChillerHeater:Absorption:DirectFired

I'm attempting to model a ChillerHeater:Absorption:DirectFired and I get this error:

**   ~~~   ** Node connections in branch are not consistent with object nodes.

The heating hot water loop serves numerous heating hot water coils with load on them.

I have double-checked all my nodes in other classes and they seem correct. Before I inserted the ChillerHeater, my model had an air-cooled chiller and 2 boilers and it ran fine. I have an SVG file for the prior model and some screenshots are below. In anticipation of replacing them, I named both the chiller and the first boiler "GAHP". The demand side is not shown for brevity, but the chilled water loop serves one dummy fan coil without any load. The heating hot water loop serves numerous heating hot water coils with load on them.

In my current model that will not run due to the error, the ChillerHeater replaced the chiller and the first of two boilers. Please assist with any troubleshooting ideas. I'm using EnergyPlus 22.1.0 exclusively.

"Node connections in branch are not consistent with object nodes" when modeling a ChillerHeater:Absorption:DirectFired
