Issue with Special NSIS Build (Large Strings) Not Showing Any Debug Information

I'm encountering an issue with the special build for large strings (8192 bytes) in NSIS. I followed the steps provided for downloading and using the build, but when I attempt to run the compiler, there is no detailed output or debug information being printed to the console as shown below. The earlier build does not have this issues.

Is this the official large string build from Sourceforge? Unicode or ansi?

I can't reproduce. I need an example .nsi file with the problem.

makensis.exe /Launch "/XRequestExecutionLevel User" "/XUnicode False" "/XShowInstDetails Show" /XSection "/XDetailPrint 'Hello ${NSIS_VERSION} ${NSIS_MAX_STRLEN}*${NSIS_CHAR_SIZE}'" /XSectionEnd "/XOutFile TestLargeString.exe"

i am not able to replicate in sample file. my production code which works perfectly fine 3.08 fails to show any status in this build. I have tried SetDetailsPrint both with no positive result.
