ArcGIS Pro 3.1.1

When creating a database view in a mobile geodatabase using the Create Database View geoprocessing tool:

The GP tool doesn't seem to allow SQL comments in the WITH clause (aka the CTE - Common Table Expression).

WITH cte AS (SELECT 1 as objectid ) --test SQL comment 
SELECT * FROM cte

ERROR 999999: Something unexpected caused the tool to fail. Contact Esri Technical Support (http://esriurl.com/support) to Report a Bug, and refer to the error help for potential solutions or workarounds.
Underlying DBMS error[incomplete input]
DBMS table not found [DBMS table not found] [main.a_test_vw]

Whereas I can put comments elsewhere in the query, such as in the main SELECT:

WITH cte AS (SELECT 1 as objectid ) 
SELECT * FROM cte --test SQL comment

 

Is that a known issue?

Note: I don't have this problem when creating the view in the mobile GDB using a SQL Client like DBeaver. I only have the problem when creating the view in ArcGIS Pro.
