[DynamicColors] App crash when opening context menu with onLongClickListener

Description: After upgrading to M3 and enabling dynamic colors, the app crashes when opening a context menu on Android 12. This behavior happens only when I explicitly set an onLongClickListener to trigger the context menu. The app doesn’t crash when dynamic colors are disabled or not available (older Android version).

Here are the error log messages I get with the stack trace:

Expected behavior: The context menu is displayed and the app doesn’t crash.

@InternationalKoder I’m wondering if this crash may be fixed by https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/commit/b84f35f1211028e7c456ce1ca91685a938f0ffcc and https://github.com/material-components/material-components-android/commit/f6c8fa5aefc84a1543eca3056a538120de0b4297 which are not released yet.

Would you be able to try with our latest snapshot?
