JSR223 Scripting Interface seems not to work in Kotlin 1.7.20

I try to perform scripting in Kotlin 1.7.20 via the JSR223 interface.
However code that worked on previous versions fails with the following stack trace:

ERROR @NotNull method org/jetbrains/kotlin/config/CompilerConfiguration.ge

What happens? Required a specific initialisation beyond the JSR223 standards?
