Cats Monad Future

Question
1

Looking for help here as i do not understand why this code causes runtime error

import cats.Monad
import cats.instances.future._
import scala.concurrent._
import scala.concurrent.duration._

import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global

val fm = Monad[Future]

Await.result(
  fm.flatMap(fm.pure(1)) {
    x => fm.pure(x+2)
  }, 1.second
)

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class $line9.$read$$iw$$iw$$iw$$iw$$iw$$iw$$iw$$iw$

This is not really related to Cats. A more self contained reproduction would be

scala> import scala.concurrent._, duration._, ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
import scala.concurrent._
import duration._
import ExecutionContext.Implicits.global

scala> Await.result(Future(42), 1.second)
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class $line49.$read$$iw$$iw$$iw$$iw$$iw$$iw$$iw$$iw$

This seems to be a known bug (see comment from March 1).
