ng build with ssr enabled does not complete (infinite loop)

[DesignThinkerer]

Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?

platform-server

Is this a regression?

Yes

Description

I created a project using ng new and enabled SSR when prompted. However, when I try to build the project, even without making any changes, the build process fails to complete. The issue seems very similar to nrwl/nx#20481

Please provide a link to a minimal reproduction of the bug

  This regular expression literal has been converted to a "new RegExp()" constructor to avoid
