gnome-shell "hangs" with the latest version

I upgraded to the latest version (linked Git repo with the latest commit - 930c3e0) and on manual (or automatic) screen lock the whole gnome-shell stops responding. I see my desktop background image and upper-right icons as on the locked screen, however, there is no date/time in the center location and ECS doesn't allow me to show the unlocking dialog.

In the system logs I see:

gnome-shell[32403]: JS ERROR: Exception in callback for signal: StatusChanged: TypeError: Object 0x7fe8f7155ec0 is not a subclass of GObject_Object, it's a Object
    _activateFade@/home/foobar/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/unblank@sun.wxg@gmail.com/extension.js:129:5

    _convertToNativeSignal@resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/overrides/Gio.js:169:5

I the only way to rescue from that situation (and keep the application running) was kill -HUP ... for the gnome-shell process from the text console.

gnome-shell-3.34.4-1.fc31.x86_64 on Fedora.

Nevermind... I took updating to 3.36 as releasing the new version with the previously merged changes...

Anyway, maybe you could create a branch gnome3.34 (pointing to b3ea4c6) for people using the version from Git to do not have to reset to some particular commit?
