Repro steps

Create a brand new project, run tests with code coverage:

ng new stock-ng-project
cd stock-ng-project
ng test --watch=false --code-coverage

Open the generated istanbul report:

open coverage/src/app/app.component.ts.html

The log given by the failure

No explicit error.

The report is malformed, including:

• highlights that don't correspond to tokens
• Random characters (I, E)
• Gutter markers that don't correspond to lines with code

Desired functionality

It should be like the version from @angular-devkit/build-angular 0.6.8:

npm install --only=dev @angular-devkit/build-angular@0.6.8
ng test --watch=false --code-coverage
open coverage/src/app/app.component.ts.html

The report is correctly formatted.

Mention any other details that might be useful

I've tracked this to being introduced by the upgrade of @angular-devkit/build-angular from 0.6.8 to 0.7.0, but that added/updated a lot of webpack and source-map-loader dependencies, and I'm not sure what the root cause is.

[corcorb]

Yeah, it's the same issue and should be fixed by #12291
