When I get this error, startDestDisplayName just gives me an arbitrary Dest Id when declaring startDest with Routes. I have to debug the source and check the route value to figure out what's wrong.

I suggest to display the route instead of this ID, by updating the startDestDisplayName logic or just displaying the route pattern somehow for easier debugging.

Marked as fixed.

Oh I forgot to mention that I thought it might be connected to this issue: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/243778589. But after trying 2.5.2 I can say that the issue persists.
