az network bastion rdp command does not recongize valid VM resource ID

I am attempting to use the az network bastion rdp command to connect to an Azure Windows VM using the native RDP client in Windows. This feature is currently in preview. 

az network bastion rdp \
  --name 'bastion-WestUS2' \
  --resource-group 'rg-bastiondemo' \
  --target-resource-id '/subscriptions/<sub id>/resourceGroups/RG-BASTIONDEMO/providers/Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/winserver01'

When trying to connect, the command returns "Please enter a valid virtual machine resource ID". This occurs on Windows 10 using Git Bash with Azure CLI version 2.32.0.

I can run the same command in PowerShell 7 (replacing with correct multiline characters) and I can connect just fine. This shows the resource ID is correct.

I created a GitHub issue here (https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/issues/21056) with no luck so far.

Any thoughts on what I might be missing when trying to run this in Git Bash versus PowerShell?

    @Jeff Brown Tech , I did a quick repro with Git 2.8.0 version as well with the latest version 2.35.X where I encountered the same message. But while trying with Azure CLI on windows terminal it succeeded.

    Looks like there is a Git terminal compatibility issue with few Azure CLI commands. We will work towards it.
