Cannot create material blends using the Bridge plugin in 5.3

This is occurring 100% of the time for me. As you can see in the screenshot, I have exactly 3 materials selected and when I try to create a blend, it errors out because it thinks I have more than 3 selected. This occurs if I have only 2 selected as well. The only way to create a blend currently is to only select 1 material, then fill in the texture slots manually, which is tedious.
