Parallels update breaks booting

Not sure if it is just me, but a recent upgrade to Parallels 26.0.1 
desktop makes my VMs (FreeBSD 13, 14 and 15) hang waiting for a usb 
device to do "something." on an M1 Ultra Mac running macOS 15.6.1

Here is a screen scrape of an image of the failure:


Instruction Set Attributes 2 = <

EL1, ELO>
Processor Features 1 = ‹MTE_frac>

usbus0: 480Mbps High Speed USB v2.0
usbus1: 5.0Gbps Super Speed USB v3.0

There is no crash, no dumps.  The console just sits at that usbus1: 
selection until I shut it down.

This screen dump is from a boot-only .iso for 15 from last week.  I get 
this same reaction from all of my FreeBSD VMs.  Windows 11 VMs are not 
affected.

I've reported this to the Parallels support team, but other than rolling 
back to a prior version of Parallels (which worked), they haven't 
offered a solution.
