According to the Tosefta ad loc 8:10
<https://www.sefaria.org/Tosefta_Menahot.8.10>, it's R' Meir who breings
down the machloqes, and R' Yehudah who says lo nechliqu.

Not saying I fully understand the sugya, just looks like a source for
the Rambam having a different understanding of the sugya than our girsa
of shas. (Not saying it's necessarily a girsa issue, just saying I can't
insist it's necessarily what the Bavli said.)

Chodesh Tov!
