Devkit strange behavior with jsio

[clarxor]

Using whackamole for reference here.

If you follow the instructions from the website 'Quick start- Game walkthrough' and execute the following steps-

1. Clone from the whackamole repo
2. Change directory to whackamole
3. Run devkit install

-it seems to produce a fatal error involving the jsio module.

I'm on windows 10 using git bash admin privileges. After this error I simply delete the jsio module and run npm install in the directory to fix it. However I was wondering if this was intentional/unintentional behavior, or even maybe a mistake on my part.
