PPro 24.2.0 Beta (Build 25) crashes on project open

I've been working on a PPro project for the past week, and updating PPro Beta as soon as a new version is launched each day, with no problems. Today, I updated PPro to Build 25, launched it, clicked on my latest project to open it (from the Recent Projects list on the welcome screen) and PPro immediately crashed and quit. I cannot get the project to open in the latest PPro release at all. The project has some linked AE comps; I also updated AE to the latest version today, so there's not a version inconsistency. I can create a new PPro project seemingly without problems (although I've not tested this beyond simply creating the project).

I shall use the public release version of PPro for now - that opens the project just fine.
