RPF image files causes AE to crash

Issue:

16-bit RPF image files causes AE to crash.

No error message shows up and no crash log is generated in: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\<version>\logs

AE only crashes when importing 16-bit RPF. Importing 8-bit RPF works. Other image settings have no impact.

All versions of AE from 24.6.5 to latest are affected.

Importing the images in version 24.6.4 works.

Can't attach sample files because the forum doesn't support RPF. But the images were generated using Cinema 4D by selecting RPF in "Render Settings > Save > Format" and setting "Depth" to either "8 Bit/Channel" or "16 Bit/Channel".

Version numbers:
From 24.6.5 to 25.2.0

Operating system:
Windows 11 Pro 23H2

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open AE.
2. Import a 16-bit RPF image file.
3. Add the image to a new composition.
