I had this issue too. It is really not nice, and for sure temporary, but that was the only way I could make it work. So at least it unblocked me until it gets fixed.

    final Object mf = getChildFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
    if (mf instanceof SupportMapFragment) {
        final SupportMapFragment smf = (SupportMapFragment) mf;
        // ...
    } else {
        //handle
    }

It works both compiler time and runtime.
