What is the current behavior?

Using the following .browserslistrc that was generated a few weeks back with npx browserslist --mobile-to-desktop "> 0.5%, last 2 versions, Firefox ESR, not dead, not IE 11" throws.

If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

$ git clone https://github.com/eps1lon/webpack-targets-browserslist
$ yarn
$ yarn start

What is the expected behavior?

Webpack is able to understand this browserlist since Babel is able to. See https://github.com/babel/babel/issues/12123 for more context.

Because mobileToDesktop is a specific Babel hack. It could leads to compatibility data losses for other tool
