Deleting Library folder and opening results in an infinite import loop

Hi,
I'm having a problem where I'm upgrading a project from 2019 to 2020. I delete the Library folder and open in 2020, and it gets caught in an asset import infinite loop:
Asset import parameters changed:
buildTarget: platform 13, subtarget 524288, extendedPlatform 0 -> platform 13, subtarget 524294, extendedPlatform 0
Querying for cacheable assets in Cache Server:
eb1db967bf0de274bbaf69a845c85a50:Assets/ThirdParty/Photon/PhotonUtilities/PackObject/CodeGen/Editor/Resources/TypeCatalogue.asset
RemoteAssetCache - Download - Metadata - success:true, namespace:defaultmetadata, key:da83a48a61a11ea4273cdfe433e786cf

Global asset import parameters have been changed during import. Importing is restarted. See editor.log for details.
UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace ()
Photon.Compression.Internal.TypeCatalogue:EnsureExists () (at Assets/ThirdParty/Photon/PhotonUtilities/PackObject/CodeGen/TypeCatalogue.cs:210)
Photon.Compression.Internal.TypeCatalogue:Initialize () (at Assets/ThirdParty/Photon/PhotonUtilities/PackObject/CodeGen/TypeCatalogue.cs:56)
[Assets/ThirdParty/Photon/PhotonUtilities/PackObject/CodeGen/TypeCatalogue.cs line 210]
I saw a previous discussion that was dealing with a similar issue when the Photon directory was moved from the default location, but the fix for that issue that has been in place for a while seems to work fine.
The issue seems to be that TypeCatalogue does a Resources load (in EnsureExists) to check to see if the asset exists while the system is doing the huge AssetDatabase refresh, which fails and causes a code path where that asset is needlessly created again, which the AssetDatabase sees and thus triggers a reimport - which in turn causes EnsureExists to get called again, etc - going on forever.
It seems like this would be happening to anyone if they delete their Library folder and reimport. Am I missing something?
Thanks!
