It’s an issue with the usdpreview surface you can get rid of it temporarily if you make sure your materials are set to render purpose only. Thats the only thing seems to work for me!

oh my, thanks a lot, it's been poisoning my work for weeks now, and I wasn't able to isolate the problem exactly

Do you have some materials in your scene that was carried over from an older version than Houdini 21?

I have no idea what this is, but if the devs come by here, please pay attention to this weirdness.
