Errors when importing MXF files and exporting PNGs in AE v24.3

Myself and several coworkers have started to get import/export errors with the latest version of After Effects (version 24.3). We have found that reverting back to version 24.0.3 completely resolved 100% of our issues. Here are some of the specific issues we've seen so far:
- Exporting PNGs when the color space is set to Rec.709
- This results in the classic "AEGP Plugin PNGIO library error." I'll attach screenshots of the errors to this post.
- Importing MXF video files
- The error message reads, "...cannot be opened, it may be in an unsupported format."
Does anybody know a quick fix for these issues, or do we need to wait for Adobe to release a patch? Transcoding our MXF files to another format is NOT an option. Our editor has done some tests with different formats and has requested that we keep the MXF files as-is if possible for the sake of keeping the color the same across all of our shots. The same goes for the PNG exports. Sometimes we need to export PNGs in Rec.709. We do it all the time. It's always strange when this error pops back up. Thanks in advance to anybody who takes the time to stop by and respond!
