Why does “ Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency?” occur in a compiled template?

After upgrading from 9.4.8 to 9.5.3 a problem came up (see below) so when I add more than one image in articles media field node-image, I get a 500 error.

PHP Fatal error:  Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? in /home/www/sites1/mysite.gr/astrosnews/web/sites/default/files/php/twig/63dee130963f5_field--field-node-image.h_OFwaH9BedIr0dxUMjz2WTf6If/M-GDNVdt5tDdsesr-7jYR7Xyr_xWOPal71qHp-7K3yk.php on line 89

The line 89 mentioned above is the below but is not produced by theme code.

if (((($__internal_compile_2 = ($context["items"] ?? null)) && is_array($__internal_compile_2) || $__internal_compile_2 instanceof ArrayAccess ? ($__internal_compile_2[0] ?? null) : null) != $context["item"])) {

Do you have any idea how to solve this?

Update

code which might be the source of the problem although it is not changed

  {% if items|length > 1 and view_mode == "full" %}
    <div class="image-listing-items clearfix">
      {% for item in items %}
        {% if items[0] != item %}
          <div class="image-listing-item">
            <div{{ item.attributes.addClass('field__item') }}>{{ item.content }}</div>
          </div>
        {% endif %}
      {% endfor %}
    </div>
  {% endif %}

This code line is expensive to calculate and could even cause a fatal error when the arrays/objects are very large:

{% if items[0] != item %}

Instead, use the Twig loop variable:

{% if not loop.first %}
