This is caused by the unfortunate delayed introduction of the Version type support to the ODBC driver (see comment). The workaround is to use an older version of the driver. 8.5 will work as expected too (as well as a potential 8.4.4, but this doesn't seem it'll be released).

Thanks @bpintea, I went thru the drivers back to 8.3.3, which worked. I will work with Hemant to identify the right channel to have our documentation updated.
