Why does std :: any_cast passed to std :: any inside the dlopen'd function cause an error

Question

I play with C ++ 17 and plugins, and I ran into an error that I cannot get around. In the next MWE, I can call a local function that accepts std::any, and everything works as expected when I try to read the contents. When I load this same function through a plugin (dlopen), it correctly sees the type on any, but cannot std::any_castcontents.

Any help would be greatly appreciated in figuring out what causes this error.

Here is my environment, MWE, and the resulting error.
