    This seems to break other issues

    The rebind fix does not work if you disable-enable the entire GameObject. Also please add add note about this bug in the release notes of your latest versions. The bug is present 6000.1.6f1 and the latest beta 6000.2.0b4.

    Also seeing this in 6000.0.50f1 after updating from 43f1, workaround posted above seems to work but still needs a proper fix in next Unity release.

    Can confirm I ran into this problem upgrading an old 2021 project to 6000.1.5, and have done the workaround code fix:

    _animator.enabled = true; // used to only be this line
    _animator.Rebind(); // added these next two lines
    _animator.Update(0); // to fix broken animations

    This is an issue on MacOS too.

    This is also happening with an animator that never gets toggled off/on as well as with those that do get toggled off/on.
