It turns out that an app I use (StartAllBack) which modifies the appearance of Windows 11 to be more usable for real work, was interfering with the updated version of Explorer that ships with the new Insider build. The developer quickly released a patched version of StartAllBack, but not before causing me a lot of problems. Now that I have the new version of StartAllBack, all is well.
