UE 5.6 Editor Crash When Redirectors Present in FMOD Import Folder

Hello support team!

Our team is having an issue when importing some Events.

If the FMOD generated banks have an event that needs to be imported in UE, i.e: Event → ThisEvent
And for some reason the UE import folder happened to have a redirector with the same name i.e: Redirector → ThisEvent, the UE editor will crash and remain in a broken state with error:

Cannot replace existing object of a different class.

I’ve searched for this issue on the thread history and somebody had the exact same error:

But I don’t see a solution on the thread, owner seems to have just found a workaround.
The simplest workaround for this, is to just delete or resolve the redirectors, but we’re trying to find a more reliable, non-manual solution for this error.

Is this expected behavior? Or is there any sort of fix to avoid this state?

Thanks a lot for your help!
