`Error: Entry module cannot be external` in version 0.20.0

What happens and why it is wrong

The build won’t go through, throws the following error: Error: Entry module cannot be external

This seems to be caused by a change here: https://github.com/ezolenko/rollup-plugin-typescript2/commit/29b13a089b6a1a86574255779277d1e06414f557#diff-f41e9d04a45c83f3b6f6e630f10117feR118

Environment

Checked in a setup like this:

index.ts:

export * from './index2';

index2.ts:

// doesn't matter
