Is this new behavior intended? I am getting an error when assigning imx in the first example.

DT <- data.table(LETTERS, letters)
DT[, imx := .I]
f_det_blk <- function(x) {!all(is.na(x))}
DT[,   imx := ifelse(apply(.SD, 1, f_det_blk), imx, imx * -1L), .SDc = !'imx'] #error
DT[, ('imx') := ifelse(apply(.SD, 1, f_det_blk), imx, imx * -1L), .SDc = !'imx'] #no error

Is this the new intended behavior?
