OpenTelemetry stops exporting data after deno compile

Deno.* APIs
Summary:
OpenTelemetry works correctly when running with deno run, but stops working after deno compile.

Details:
We are using Deno’s built-in OpenTelemetry integration (OTEL_DENO=true) in our service.

When running the application with deno run:

Traces are successfully exported via OTLP

Data is visible in Grafana Tempo

No custom OpenTelemetry SDK is used (only Deno’s built-in integration)

However, after compiling the application using deno compile:

The compiled binary runs correctly

HTTP endpoints work as expected

But no traces / logs / metrics are exported to the OpenTelemetry collector

This happens even though all required environment variables are set (OTEL_DENO=true, OTEL_EXPORTEROTLP*, etc.)

The exact same code and configuration works fine with deno run.
The issue only appears after deno compile
