Description

Issue description

When using global, window, this, commonjs, commonjs2, or assign as output.libraryTarget, chunk contents are not displayed in report. var, umd, 'amd', 'amd-require', 'system', and 'jsonp' work OK.

Research direction

Start with the linked webpack-bundle-analyzer reproduction and compare reports for the listed output.libraryTarget values, especially global, window, this, commonjs, commonjs2, and assign versus the working targets. Trace how chunk contents are collected and displayed, then verify that the affected targets show chunk contents in the report without regressing the working cases.
