PlantUML cannot render an object diagram when there's a map that refers to an object inside a group. When the map is part of the group, it renders OK. Minimal example:
@startuml frame G { object A } map M { a *-> A } @enduml
(--------)
A work-around is to qualify the object name with the group namespace:
@startumlframe G { object A}map M { a *-> G.A}@enduml
@startumlframe G { object A}
map M { a *-> G.A}@enduml
Obviously though it's never good to crash...
