It's not clear yet what the issue is. Please enable debug logging for Pyscript and restart Home Assistant.
Add custom_components.pyscript: debug to the logger.logs section in configuration.yaml:

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    custom_components.pyscript: debug

Can you also include the pyscript user code is being executed, ideally localized to where the error occurs? Prior versions of pyscript silently ignored certain errors. It's quite possible there is a latent error in your user code that is now being reported.

I was unable to reproduce this with the logger set to debug, and then back to info. I will be on the lookout to see if this happens again.

You are right, of course it could be latent in user code. I haven't been able to reproduce the issue yet. Will keep watching. I wasn't running or invoking a script manually through a button or call from Settings->Developer tools. It must be from code ececuted from one of the triggers, not sure yet about which one.
