[MCPE-221830] Specifying a projectile_entity in a BP item file along with its spawn event inside <> produces a content log error

I have an item specified in the behavior pack, which uses the projectile component. In there an entity to spawn is specified along with a spawn event. A content log error is printed on world load. The entity spawns as expected, so the event shouldn’t be printed.
I believe this was not the case in previous versions.

"minecraft:projectile": {
    "projectile_entity": "namespace:my_entity<namespace:spawn_event>"
},

The content log error reads:

[Json][warning]- -> components -> minecraft:projectile -> projectile_entity:  Missing referenced asset namespace:my_entity<namespace:spawn_event>

This is likely related to MCPE-221287
