bug: Locking from overview crashes shell

[skuperuser]

Hi,

When locking the screen from gnome overview (using shortcut), the shell seems to crash.

Fedora 40, gnome 46.2

This issue occurs on both X11 and Wayland, but:
On Wayland, the shell restarts itself, logging the user out.
On X11, the screen turns black (cursor is still shown), before sucessfully locking. When the pc is unlocked again, however, the user is presented with a window forcing them to log out due to a crash.

To reproduce:
press SUPER to enter overview
press SUPER+L to lock the screen (assuming default hotkey)

configs:

dconf dump /org/gnome/shell/extensions/dash-to-dock/
[/]
always-center-icons=true
apply-custom-theme=false
background-color='rgb(36,31,49)'
background-opacity=0.80000000000000004
custom-background-color=false
custom-theme-shrink=false
dash-max-icon-size=48
disable-overview-on-startup=false
