Cannot access 'kotlin.ranges.OpenEndRange' in IDEA and Kotlin 1.7.0 - kotlin

Question

I have a Kotlin + Maven project which uses Kotlin 1.7.0. When I import the project in IDEA I see an 'error' (more on that later) in the in operator when used with an IntRange:
My IDEA version is the latest as of this writing (Build #IU-223.7571.182, built on November 29, 2022).
It looks like for some reason IDEA is trying to find the OpenEndRange type introduced in 1.7.20 (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/whatsnew1720.html#preview-of-the-operator-for-creating-open-ended-ranges), but my project is using 1.7.0 and the type doesn't exist.
I noticed that in IDEA preferences it uses a newer plugin and analyzer versions than 1.7.0:
When the project is compiled on the CLI with just maven, all works. Actually, it also builds and runs in IDEA, so the red underscore is somehow bogus and confusing.
Here is my pom.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"

and the sample code that shows the issue:
package com.example
import java.time.LocalDate
import java.time.temporal.ChronoField
fun foo(month: Int): Boolean {
val start = LocalDate.now().get(ChronoField.MONTH_OF_YEAR) // as Int
return month in (start..12) // <=== here
}
fun main() {
println(foo(1))
}
I imported the project into IDEA by just choosing 'File' -> 'Open' and choosing the project folder, it detects everything automatically.
It looks as though IDEA somehow doesn't like the LocalDate.get(TemporalField field) call, or rather its return value. When I add as Int, the 'error' goes away but then as Int is greyed out as 'needless cast' (which I expect); the 'error' is also not shown when I just assign a hardcoded Int to the start val. I tried calling different Java methods returning int but to no avail, I couldn't reproduce the issue.
What is going on and how can I tell IDEA to stop showing this strange 'error'? Why is the LocalDate.get(TemporalField) method special?
