Getting invalid version number error when connecting to peer

Question

I'm getting an error when trying to connect to a node. The IPFS instance is created in a class, with a JavaScript factory function. The connect function looks like this:

async connectToPeer(multiaddr, protocol = "/p2p-circuit/ipfs/") {
    try {
        console.log("swarm.connect: ", protocol + multiaddr);
        await this.node.swarm.connect(protocol + multiaddr);
    } catch (e) {
        throw(e);
    }
}

This will be passed to swarm.connet: /p2p-circuit/ipfs/QmWxWkrCcgNBG2uf1HSVAwb9RzcSYYC2d6CRsfJcqrz2FX

This is the error I get:

It is able to connect to peers, if I list connected peers the list is not empty.
