Reproduction:
1) In a project with multiple scenes in an APV baking set, perform a full bake(with all scenes loaded).
2) Unload one scene.
3) Bake again.
4) Perform a Preview bake on an APV Adjustment Volume.
Result: There will be a nullref error
Note: It can be important which scene has to be unloaded, so if it doesnt reproduce unload the other scene. In my case I always unloaded the inactive scene, lastly added to the hierarchy.
