Oh that's a fun bug! So Unity has both Matrix4x4 and float4x4, and the have slightly different syntax, but close enough. The big difference is float4x4 is significantly faster. So a lot of people replace one with the other - happy.
BUT....
To do matrix multiplication with Matrix4x4, you do a = b*c.
To do it with float4x4 you have to do a = math.mul(b,c)
OK whatever. The problem is that a=b*c COMPILES FINE. It just does the componentwise multiply is all.
