Subtables & Subfigures fail to compile in beamer format

I have:

• searched the issue tracker for similar issues
• installed the latest version of Quarto CLI
• formatted my issue following the Bug Reports guide

Bug description

This minimal example (taken from the documentation) won't compile any more when I upgrade Quarto from v1.7.34 to v1.8.24:

---
title: Tables
format:
  beamer: default
---

### Tables

::: {#tbl-panel layout-ncol=2}
| Col1 | Col2 | Col3 |
|------|------|------|
| A    | B    | C    |
| E    | F    | G    |
| A    | G    | G    |

: First Table {#tbl-first}

| Col1 | Col2 | Col3 |
|------|------|------|
| A    | B    | C    |
| E    | F    | G    |
| A    | G    | G    |

: Second Table {#tbl-second}

Main Caption
:::

Error report:

ERROR: 
compilation failed- error
Package subcaption Error: \subcaption outside float.

See the subcaption package documentation for explanation.

Suspect that this is due to #12775. Above file produces LaTeX code:

\begin{frame}{Tables}
\phantomsection\label{tables}
\begin{columns}[T]
\begin{column}{0.5\linewidth}
\subcaption{\label{tbl-first}First Table}

\centering{

\begin{tabular}{lll}
\toprule
Col1 & Col2 & Col3\\
\midrule
A & B & C\\
E & F & G\\
A & G & G\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}

}
\end{column}

\begin{column}{0.5\linewidth}
\subcaption{\label{tbl-second}Second Table}

\centering{

\begin{tabular}{lll}
\toprule
Col1 & Col2 & Col3\\
\midrule
A & B & C\\
E & F & G\\
A & G & G\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}

}
\end{column}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}
