Fedora Silverblue 40 gnome shell crashing after latest upgrade

I haven’t received an update in weeks, which sounded strange to me, so I forced an upgrade by running rpm-ostree upgrade. After rebooting, the system asks for my disk encryption password, presents me the gdm login screen, and logs me in. As soon as I try to run any command, it takes me back to the gdm login screen. I disabled all Gnome extensions and startup applications, but the problem remains. I had to rpm-ostree rollback so I could continue using my computer.

Here’s the output of rpm-ostree status from before the rollback:

Any help would be immensely appreciated.

I thought this was only related to Silverblue, but it’s affecting standard Fedora as well.

The latest remark on Bugzilla informs there’s a new build:

FEDORA-2024-337ebae0a7 (mesa-24.1.2-7.fc40) has been pushed to the Fedora 40 stable repository.
If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.

I upgraded my system to the latest build and everything is working as it should.
