Column '_IpLabelMetaInfo' does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.

We're using PnP within an Azure function to upload and update list items in a SharePoint site. Yesterday we encountered several failed jobs with the following error message:

The function has been working without any issues for months, and we haven't been able to reproduce the issue.

Start with the failing SetListItem operation at src/Commands/Lists/SetListItem.cs line 185 and review the supplied SharePoint error for the missing _IpLabelMetaInfo column. Compare the Azure Function's upload or update request with the affected SharePoint list or library, then establish whether the failure can be reproduced and what evidence identifies the cause or a reliable workaround.
