EnTAP fails at InterProScan step due to terminal asterix in protein fasta records

I am running EnTAP on the test_data in file protein_transdecoder.faa. Interestingly, EnTAP fails with the following message:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: You have submitted a protein sequence which contains an asterix (). This may be from an ORF prediction program. '' is not a valid IUPAC amino acid character and amino acid sequences which go through our pipeline should not contain it. Please strip out all asterix characters from your sequence and resubmit your search.

Easy enough to filter out, but I was surprised that EnTAP doesn't just strip terminal asterisks, count the occurrences and report the number stripped in the log.
