Steps to reproduce:
    1. .Use the New AI Masking tool in a sequence
    2. Export > Send to Media Encoder 
Result: Render ignores layer with mask 
Expected: Final product should have masking
 
System info
    Application: Adobe Media Encoder (Beta) v25.6.0.80
    OS: macOS v15.7.1, RAM: 32,00 GB GB, CPUs (logical): 8

Previous beta version had a warning "Some Object Masks are Offline and will be ignored" That version was only ignoring the mask, not the layer itself. 

I've saved the project differently and updated to the latest beta version of the After Effects Beta. Now there is no warning but render preview shows that layer with the new AI masking is ignored completely.
