Error: Target must be an event emitter

Hey,

I'm having this weird problem that I can't get anything into edit mode suddenly anymore due to this dojo related script error I'd guess? I'm using a fairly fresh install of the latest Episerver packages from nuget (not pre-release though). The CMS seems to otherwise work and the site opens as usual, all help is accepted :).

Forgot to mention that I tried to enable Limit touch support and reseting the views but it didn't help. Here is an image of the view I'm stuck with when attempting to access the edit mode. It's the same when I attempt to edit a page directly by url.

Inaccessible edit mode

Edit:

After debugging the js sources I managed to find that the issue is related to that the ModuleManager method _runModuleInitializer has trouble initializing epi.shell.ShellModule.

Here's a slightly better call stack for the problem:

Edit2:

This was somehow related to using a multi-site license and having the use site specific assets option flagged. When I removed the site and remade it, this issue disappeared.
