SyntaxError: pages/index.js: Unexpected token (1:145641)

I have tested the code with a simple SVG and it works. Apparently there is an issue my selected more complex SVG that includes imbedded Javascript in a CDATA. It gives the error message:

SyntaxError: pages/index.js: Unexpected token (1:145641)

I am unable to debug it because it give only the location and not details of the "Unexpected token". Is there a way that I can debug this.

..a bit more info though still no indication of what caused the problem

Start with pages/index.js and static/images/nc_map.svg, then reproduce the Next.js build using the complex SVG containing embedded JavaScript in CDATA. Compare it with the working simple SVG and inspect the Babel-loader error location. Done means the SVG builds successfully or the failure identifies the offending syntax clearly.
