I think this caused lifeguard reset because D-Bus clients did not cope
with restarting of the D-Bus daemon. You could workaround this by
disabling the lifeguard reset temporarily ("flasher --enable-rd-mode --
set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset"), but anyway you need to reboot
afterwards to get the D-Bus clients connected again.

I'm not sure if D-Bus daemon currently supports reloading of the
configuration on-the-fly. So, restarting (reboot) might be the only
option.

It's wise to disable the lifeguard reset before installing experimental
stuff.
