That's twice this morning a working solution was inapplicable b/c someone 
was still running Ansible 2.9. I know people don't always get to pick the 
version of whatever software they have to use because of factors beyond 
their control. We were stuck on 2.9 far longer than we would have liked.

However, if it's at all possible, IMO, any time spent trying to make stuff 
work under 2.9 *rather than moving to a later version* is time seriously 
wasted. There have been so very many improvements.

Adding "| list" as you did should have been enough, though. It makes me 
wonder what was in your registered result on that particular run.

Sorry I can't offer any actionable suggestions. Good luck,
