Adding new mavlink message to APM Planner 2 breaks the EKF status report message

I have added a new message to APM Planner 2 which transmits data that is collected by an Arduino and transmitted to a Pixhawk via I2C. I regenerated all the messages and placed them into their proper directories. The code compiles correctly after changing line 1966 in src/uas/UAS.cc from

mavlink_finalize_message_chan(&message, systemId, componentId, link->getId(), message.len, messageKeys[message.msgid]);

to

mavlink_finalize_message_chan(&message, systemId, componentId, link->getId(), 0, message.len, messageKeys[message.msgid]);

However, either adding these new message definitions or editing the UAS.cc file breaks the EKF status report message. It shows up as a message entitled "empty" and contains only a char[0] with no name. This message shows up fine in an unedited version of APM Planner 2, but I need the new messages. How do I fix this broken message?

Thanks

Edit: my code is here https://github.com/uzgit/apm_planner
