Thanks for reporting this and providing the detailed stack trace and reproduction steps.

Looking closely at the stack trace:

java.lang.IllegalStateException
    at com.google.maps.api.android.lib6.common.t.d(:com.google.android.gms.policy_maps_core_dynamite@254125201...:6)
    at com.google.maps.api.android.lib6.phoenix.av.a(:com.google.android.gms.policy_maps_core_dynamite...:53)
...

The crash occurs entirely inside Google Play services' vector renderer Dynamite module (com.google.android.gms.policy_maps_core_dynamite) during internal feature pick handling when tapping on a traffic incident / road closure icon. This failure originates within the underlying Google Play services Maps SDK renderer rather than the android-maps-compose layer.

We have escalated this to the Google Play services Maps SDK team for investigation. Because Google Play services updates its Dynamite modules dynamically over-the-air:

1. Could you check if this is still reproducible on the latest Google Play services update on your emulator / device?
2. In the interim, does setting an explicit onPOIClick listener on GoogleMap prevent the crash from triggering in your setup?
