This is caused by rBeb521b22b2b1.
Looks like PE_minmax doesnt play nice with the evaluated view_layer.
Why? If we look inside PE_get_current, then
BKE_ptcache_ids_from_object will actually return a list of PTCacheID
for the evaluated object.
However, looking further, then PTCacheEdit / psys->pointcache->edit
is always NULL for the evaluated object.
I assume this only lives on the original?
Without a valid PTCacheEdit, PE_minmax will basically do nothing.
Suggest to pass the non-evaluated view layer in the case of particles
instead?
