Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported key sequence in PSReadLine 2.4.5 on PowerShell 7.6.2, then trace the ViIndicateCommandMode and ViCommandMode entries shown in the exception stack. Done means pressing Escape to enter Vim normal mode no longer displays a null-valued-expression error.
