Can you try cargo install ironbar --locked? That looks like an issue due to an update to the serde crate, which shouldn't be present in the 0.17 lockfile.

It's also fixed on git, and I'll have a patch release out in the next few days.

Great news. I'll leave this open until next release, and will correct that in the documentation.
