DJI Mini 4 Pro: Lights Failed After Controller Swap (RC2 to RC Pro 2)

Heads up, everyone! Last night, I experienced a potential bug after switching controllers.
I swapped my DJI RC 2 for a new DJI RC Pro 2 and took off in the dark. My Mini 4 Pro flew with absolutely no navigation or warning lights illuminated on the drone.
Luckily, I had a strobe attached.
I landed immediately, power-cycled everything, and the lights returned to normal.

Please be careful if you switch controllers right before a flight, especially at night. It might be a weird coincidence, but I suspect a software glitch in the Mini 4 Pro’s initial handshake with the new RC Pro 2.

Has anyone else seen this?
