Hmm... we added extra #rehash sends in 2022 to SmartRefStream >> #next. That's why the behavior changed from 5.3/6.0 to 6.1alpha. Hmm...
The dictionary in question is the "objects" instVar for the central instance of SMSqueakMap. it interesting thing is that it passes twice through SmartRefStream >> #next. The first time with an invalid array and the second time complete and re-hash-able. Hmm...

The issue appears to be that deep in the process a Dictionary exists that has a tally of 4162 but an array of nil. Which doesn't seem quite proper somehow.
The starting point is SMLoaderPlus>loadUpdates but a long way later we get to SmartRefStream>>#readInstanceSize:clsname:refPosn: with a refPosn of 1270478. A couple of methods later we try to rehash the Dictionary
This can never end well.
There's no way I have time to do anything much with this, so volunteers needed...
