IndexOutOfRangeException, NativeHashMap issues after updating Unity.Collections - cannot fix by rolling back

[Octopoid]

Hi, I've just recently purchased Nova, fantastic asset, really easy to use and far better for my use case than either of the main Unity ones.

However, I've just run across a problem - when installing some packages, I updated Unity.Collections from 1.2.4 to 2.1.4. Immediately after, the project starting having runtime issues, detailed below. No problem, I thought, and rolled it back. However since then, I can't get the problem to go away! I've even taken a branch and completely resintalled Nova and all of its dependencies, and the same errors remain.

I firstly get about 50 of these:

IndexOutOfRangeException: Index -1 must be positive.

I don't have a problem with using specific versions of packages, but currently I'm stuck with it broken! Any ideas?

I really don't want to go back to trying to build this with UIDocument 😂

Just seen the questions have moved, will repost this there.
