Regression
Yes
"NullReferenceException" in Particle System's Shape Module while reference is set
Reproduction steps:
# Open attached project "SpriteIssues.zip" and scene "BaseBattleWorld_ProperUnits"
# In Hierarchy window, select "Enemy Warlock" -> "Troop_Enemy_Warlock" -> "Walk VFX"
# Observe Console window
# In Inspector window, while still selecting the same GameObject, select Particle System -> Shape -> Texture
# Assign the same Asset - "Assets -> Prefabs -> Troops -> VFX Particle"
# Observe Console window
# Reopen the project
# Repeat steps 2-3
Expected result: No error throughout any of the steps
Actual result: "NullReferenceException" and "GUI Error: You are pushing more GUIClips than you are popping. Make sure they are balanced." errors initially, and after entering-exiting play mode again
Reproducible with: 2022.2.0a4, 2022.2.0b4, 2023.1.0a6
Not reproducible with: 2021.3.8f1, 2022.1.13f1, 2022.2.0a3
Could not test with: 2020.3.38f1 (project breaks)
Reproduced on: Windows 10

If it has any interest, here is some additional info.
Another way to produce the same error is to make a particle system, and under Shape:
Shape: Box
Emit From: Shell
Texture: any textureSave and restart Unity, then click node with particle system and it will spam these two errors:
GUI Error: You are pushing more GUIClips than you are popping. Make sure they are balanced.

UnityEngine.UIElements.UIR.RenderChain.Render () (at <8c4c0c3614e7457984f7ec0d5dc10278>:0)As soon as You click on "Shape" again, the gizmo will appear correctly and the error spam will stop; then You will not see the error again until You restart Unity and click the particle system node once again.
If You set texture: none the error will also stop, so I would say that is the trigger (in my case).
Since it seem to be a problem with the Gizmo, I would assume it wont affect runtime or builds.
Produced with Unity 2022.2.0b4.2768.
