As @emilylange pointed out she sees the issue only on the first try. And after switching to another machine I can confirm that I only see it on the first try, too.

The question now remains what state would affect that for me. I''ve removed ~/.platformio and .esphome so far w/o any change.

Okay, now I cannot reproduce it at all any more. 😬
