Sounds just like what I'm seeing (I also can't repro, but see repeated crashes from users so believe it's deterministic and not some race that occasionally blows up or something).
@gbuela I'd be curious to know if any of your crash reports are from users running the iOS 18 RC or release builds? I don't see these, mine are all beta 4 and earlier. So I think this maybe got fixed and users that are crashing installed an earlier iOS beta and haven't updated.
