Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

I raised this issue on the action vale-cli/vale-action#156, but I think it's actually vale itself. I must have upgraded locally. I have the following config

StylesPath = .github/styles

# https://github.com/vale-cli/packages
Packages = proselint

[*.{html,md,rst}]
BasedOnStyles = proselint,\
                Vale

# Disable
proselint.Typography = NO
Vale.Spelling = NO

# `vale sync` in CI means the packages are then linted, so turn them off
[.github/styles/**]
BasedOnStyles =

But when I run vale sync I get

Syncing proselint [1/1] ██████████████████████████████████████████████ 100% | 0s
 SUCCESS  Synced 1 package(s) to '/Users/paddy/Library/Application Support/vale/styles'.

Could this be related to #1014?
