__get_nla_tracks_obj: Invalid Index

Hello, we have an asset we are exporting in blender 4.0 -> 4.2 where NLA tracks ticked is producing a bug in the function __get_nla_tracks_obj. Interestingly, the bug only manifests on the second call to the function during exporting and I'm not sure why it's being called a second time. The first pass appears to handle all the known animations of interest without error; hence the stack trace below shows the path to the second call that causes the bug:

The asset can't be shared at this moment, however playing with the code I can tell you that the length check on track.strips is 0 for the second pass causing current_exported_tracks, and consequently exported_tracks to be empty, finally creating an invalid index access when trying to get the track_names at the bottom of the function. You can also see I added a sloppy fix to just return empty lists on subsequent calls, though I'm not sure that's OK since I still have not reverse engineered what the second pass is designed to do:

Any help on what in our blender setup might be causing the second pass or a track with 0 strips is greatly appreciated! Thank you:
