Fixed here:
brave-experiments/ad-block@03c18b3

Turns out to be a parsing bug only, and we don't parse from our clients (we only deserialize), so I was able to fix it by just re-generating the lists. If you don't see it working, just restart your browser and that should force an update check for the new serialized list.
