\afterpage from afterpage package broken with recent distribution

[Rimole]

Brief outline of the bug

\afterpage did work as expected with TeX Live 2023 pdflatex
pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.25 (TeX Live 2023) (preloaded format=pdflatex 2024.3.9)
L3 programming layer <2024-02-20>

but issues its argument somewhere later when used with TeX Live 2024 pdflatex
pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.26 (TeX Live 2024) (preloaded format=pdflatex 2024.3.23)
L3 programming layer <2024-03-14>

Minimal example showing the bug

\RequirePackage{latexbug}
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{afterpage}
\begin{document}
Page \thepage 
\afterpage{Hi!}
\newpage
Page \thepage 
\newpage
Page \thepage 
\end{document}

With TeX Live 2023 a "Hi!" was printed on the second page. With TeX Live 2024 and its updates the "Hi!" appears at page 4 (four). That is after the first page, but can I get the old behaviour back, where "after" meant "next", please?

Thank you for your report and clear test file.

This is not due to a change in latex but to a change in the tex system, we are investigating if the change was intended.

We have reported the bug in the engine upstream and it got fixed there. This morning my installation had new versions for pdftex and xetex that do no longer exhibit the bug. So please update your installation and check if that resolves the issue for you as well.

The update reached "my" update server, the test document compiles without issue and the original document, where I noticed the problem, now also results in the same pdf as when compiled under TL23. Thank you for having this fixed so fast! [This issue can be closed now.]
