TabView + NavigationStacks broken on iOS 26.1

Broken TabView + NavigationStacks functionality on iOS 26.1. Even the most basic navigation made impossible.

Example:

TabView {
    Tab(...) {
        NavigationStack(path: $homePath) {
            HomeView()
                .navigationDestination { ... }
        }
    }

    Tab(...) {
        NavigationStack(path: $settingsPath) {
            SettingsView()
                .navigationDestination { ... }
        }
    }
}

Anything passed to settingsPath is just ignored and would never appear onscreen.

(26.0 and prior versions work as expected.)

Are there any workarounds?

@konstantin_from_saint-p Could you please share a test project. That would be helpful in investigating the issue. Thanks
