Launching contact sheets from Explorer is intermittent

PM Windows 10 64 Bit, V5 Build 19728

I downloaded a zip file of photos from Google Photos.

C:\...\test\Photos (9).zip

After unzipping, into C:\...\test looked like:

Using the explorer I opened the five folders in one operation

In this case only 4 folders opened.



After close each folder from the right side, using the X on the folder, I closed the last.

There was one strange folder left



Note the missing folder name and band along the top
This pane is also kind of non-actionable - I can click images, not not the folder
I can open a new folder from the tree on the left, see it,



and when I dismiss the new folder, I see the previous mystery folder.

I cannot dismiss the mystery folder without restarting PM

If I rename the base folder from "Photos (9)" to "Photos 9", opening the 5 folders from the explorer still does not work, leaving the "mystery folder" underneath all the others. Or it opens only one. I thought the Parens in the path might trigger the folders, but it looks like a different issue.
