gnome-control-center crashes to desktop when trying to add user

gnome-control-center is crashing to desktop whenever I try to add a user via the control center's Users tab.  Opening gnome-control-center from the terminal leaves this after the drop to desktop:

12:21:56.3000 cc-user-accounts-panel[96167]: WARNING: Impossible to update fingerprint manager state: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name net.reactivated.Fprint was not provided by any .service files
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I have no fingerprint reading device, fwiw.

After some digging into the coredump and rolling back relevant updates, looks like libadwaita 1:1.4.0-1 is the culprit.
I've created https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwaita/-/issues/735.

I've tested and it's fixed after installing the fix in gtk4-1:4.12.3-1.
