Error in 2_4_floorplan on black_parrot when reading a DEF with placed macros

[b62833]

I'm running nangate45/black_parrot and trying to read in a floorplan DEF that's got the memories placed. With today's (April 25th) OpenROAD and scripts 2_4_floorplan errors with

Is this a script problem, OpenROAD, or user problem?

(My money's on OpenROAD since version addecc2 from December 14 runs without errors)

@AcKoucher please respond

@b62833 This looks like an MPL bug. I'll open a PR to fix it.

@b62833 Would you test #5015 to see if you still get the same problem?

[b62833]

@AcKoucher Yes, that fixed it. Thanks!
