File Redirection crashes on Windows 11 24H2

I have noticed that some applications deployed with MSIX packages and having file redirection fixups can be correctly launched on Windows 11 22H2 or 23H2, but crash on Windows 11 24H2.

If Config.json contains a snippet:

    "fixups": [

        {

          "dll": "FileRedirectionFixup.dll",

          "config": {

            "redirectedPaths": {

and a MSIX package integrates the latest PSF release  (version 1.0.240212.1), applications crashes during initialization, and the Event Viewer contains these errors:

Faulting module name: FileRedirectionFixup64.dll, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x63f88f2e

Exception code: 0xc0000005

Fault offset: 0x0000000000009809

Faulting process id: 0x2688

File redirection seems to work well with previous Windows builds. What is the cause of this error? Why is it observed only on Windows 24H2? Are FileRedirectionFixup64.dll assemblies released with PSF 1.0.240212.1 or earlier PSF versions compatible with Windows 11 24H2? Can PSF vendors and MSIX experts shed light on this problem?

    Also happens for me using PsfTooling 6.11.0. If you look on Tim Mangan's blog, you'll see an entry for version PSF V2025.02.22, but no release date yet, and no specific mention of this issue.
