Unable to find viewState for tag 56. Surface stopped: false

Description

Seeing similar error to the one here https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/38743 but have a reproducible example.

Use case is to change some styles of a tab bar when going to a new stack screen. Then when user goes back to the tab screen with tab bar there will be some styling update ex. fade in.

I am seeing these two parts are necessary to trigger the error:
https://github.com/adxzhang1/react-native/blob/2cce5a5b8a5b7c608c0b030bd45e6a40aa11fca4/App.tsx#L83
https://github.com/adxzhang1/react-native/blob/2cce5a5b8a5b7c608c0b030bd45e6a40aa11fca4/App.tsx#L136

Steps to reproduce

1. Sample here https://github.com/adxzhang1/react-native/tree/view-state-issue
2. Click Push Stack Screen -> Push Stack Screen -> Back -> Back

从链接的 view-state-issue 复现器以及 App.tsx 第 83 行和第 136 行的位置开始，然后通过 SurfaceMountingManager.getViewState 和 updateLayout 跟踪 stacktrace。复现 Android 流程——push 两次，然后返回两次——并确认不再引发 missing viewState exception。
