Crash on MonoBehaviour::Transfer<GenerateTypeTreeTransfer> when the XR Interaction Toolkit Sample Assets are updated

Reproduction steps (Unity 2021 or 2022):

1. Create a new project
2. Open the Package Manager by navigating to Window → Package Manager
3. Click the + symbol and choose Add package by name...
4. Type com.unity.xr.interaction.toolkit into the name field and 2.4.3 into the version field
5. Navigate to the "Samples" tab and import the Starter Assets
6. In the Project view, navigate to Samples/XR Interaction Toolkit/2.4.3/Starter Assets and open the DemoScene.unity
7. Make sure the Scene view has loaded in everything correctly (materials).
8. In Package Manager, click the + symbol again and Add package by name...
9. Type com.unity.xr.interaction.toolkit into the name field and 2.5.4 into the version field and press enter
10. Navigate to the "Samples" tab and Update the Starter Assets
11. Click Yes when prompted to overwrite existing assets.
12. Observe the crash

Note: For reproduction on Unity 6, you can use package version 3.0.1 and update to 3.0.4

Reproducible with: 2022.3.7f1, 2022.3.37f1, 2021.3.38f1, 6000.0.0f1, 6000.0.11f1
Not reproducible with: ?
Regressed in: ?

Reproduced on: Windows 10 Pro
Not reproducible on: No other environment tested

WORKAROUNDS:

• Delete the existing/older XRI samples before updating to the latest version.
• Close active scene or create a new blank scene before Updating - This is a key piece of information when narrowing down the crash. It only happens when a scene is open that uses assets from the sample.
