Backtrace from crash after mounting encrypted pen drive partition

SUMMARY
Dolphin crashes when accessing an encrypted pen drive for the first time

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug in encrypted pen drive
2. KDE notices this and offers to mount it. I agree. This mounts it from device
/dev/sr1 .
3. I start the program from the CD-like partition on sr1 that asks for password
and opens the data storage.
4. KDE notices this as new device /dev/sdb1 and offers to mount it. I agree and
open it in file management. Device gets mounted successfully.
5. The Dolphin window jumps in and Dolphin crashes.
6. I then can restart Dolphin and access the storage without issues.

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin crashes.

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should be able to access the data on external pen drive without
crashing first.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.6
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
Qt Version: 5.15.12
Kernel Version: 6.4.0-150600.23.50-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: offscreen
Processors: 12 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-12600
Memory: 31.1 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 770

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Using standard KDE packages from distribution repository.
Hardware is a Kingston Datatraveller pen drive with encryption.
If I plug it into the USB port of my computer, there is a small partition that
can be mounted like a CD drive. This contains the program that asks for the
password and makes the rest of the storage available when started.
This was working fine up to (including) openSUSE Leap 15.5 .

Newbie here, but willing to learn and provide missing pieces. Just let me know.
