Metal addCompletedHandler causes crash with Swift 6 (iOS)

The following code runs fine when compiled with Swift 5, but crashes when compiled with Swift 6 (stack trace below). In the draw method, commenting out the addCompletedHandler line fixes the problem. I'm testing on iOS 18.0 and see the same behavior in both the simulator and on a device. What's going on here?

import Metal
import MetalKit
import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
  @IBOutlet var metalView: MTKView!

  private var commandQueue: MTLCommandQueue?

  override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    guard let device = MTLCreateSystemDefaultDevice() else {
      fatalError("expected a Metal device")
    }
    self.commandQueue = device.makeCommandQueue()

    metalView.device = device
    metalView.enableSetNeedsDisplay = true
    metalView.isPaused = true
    metalView.delegate = self
  }
}

extension ViewController: MTKViewDelegate {
  func mtkView(_ view: MTKView, drawableSizeWillChange size: CGSize) {}

  func draw(in view: MTKView) {
    guard let commandQueue,
          let commandBuffer = commandQueue.makeCommandBuffer()
    else { return }

    commandBuffer.addCompletedHandler { _ in }  // works with Swift 5, crashes with Swift 6

    commandBuffer.commit()
  }
}

Here's the stack trace:

TBD

It turns out to be a known issue related to the completion handler closure lacking @Sendable.

We're working on a fix and if there is a workaround I'll post it here.
