V1.11 `SYSTEM: caught exception of type :TypeError while trying to print a failed Task notice; giving up`

Today I updated to v1.11 and I get the following error when I go to package mode

(@v1.11) pkg>
SYSTEM: caught exception of type :TypeError while trying to print a failed Task notice; giving up

This only happens when I startup julia with --startup-file=yes with the startup.jl containing a single command: using Revise.
If startup.jl is empty the error doesn’t happen.
If I start without startup file and load using Revise manually the error doesn’t exist.

The error makes the package mode totally unusable and generally the kernel unpredictable (e.g. I get a stack trace when I call versioninfo())

Not sure how I managed, but I got this error during a local package loading which I think it’s related:

Same happened to me at some point. I think it was resolved by deleteing ~/.julia/compiled/v1.11 if I recall correctly.
