Yes, I’ve been experiencing the exact same issue (PnPDefaultColumnValues) since yesterday. It appears that the issue is site-specific, as it works on some of our sites and document libraries but not all.
Regarding the error message:

If you remove all default columns and reapply them manually, the issue seems resolved.
