LRC 12.1 on Monterey 12.6.2 Apple Silicon does not eject CF Express Type A card connected via USB-C

LR version: Classic 12.1

OS Version: MacOS 12.6.2

Card: SD Express Type A, connected via USB-C

Machine: Mac Studio Ultra

Problem:

When importing from the card, everything goes well and the little tune/chord plays when it's finished.  However, although the box for "Eject Card After Import" is checked, the card is not ejected automatically. I can, however, eject it manually with no problem.  I tried unchecking and re-checking the box; no effect.  It has always auto-ejected in the past.  This problem started with LRC 12.1.

This issue may be due to that Type A reader. It is apparently being 'treated' like a hard drive so it isn't unmounting. I've heard a few others post issues with that kind of reader such as here:

    Huh.  The last time I read in photos from that code, yesterday, the card did indeed dismount on its own (i.e. Lightroom succeeded in unmounting it), though it took a while.  So whatever's going in is a genuine bug somewhere, and apparently with an element of race condition added just for good measure.
