Convert to Artboards doesn't work if there are Sublayers on the same Layer

I get the following error message when I try to convert a Rectangle to an Artboard when the rectangle exists on a layer that also contains a Sublayer:

"To create Artboards, select non-rotated rectangles that are not clipping masks."
