New Bots Freeze After Castling in Chess960

The new bots (Play/Computer) freeze for me after I castle in Chess960. This only happens with 960, but not with regular chess. I tried clearing cache and cookies, and my browser is up to date. I'm very familiar with how to castle in 960. It performs the castling move properly, and it shows up in the move list, but then the computer just doesn't respond. It responds almost instantly to all other moves. Is anyone else having this problem?

I just tested and the same thing happened.

Thanks for validating. I've been communicating with support rep Lukasz about this.

I bug reported it as well.

Update: Still not working for me. I also had the situation in which it was the bot's turn, and the bot was in a position in which castling was possible. It froze at that point, leading me to believe that it was going to castle, but the move could not be completed properly. Again, this seems to only be a problem with Chess960, and only with the new bots.

I've been on chess-com for over 2 years now and I only just realized you can play bots in chess960.
It's under "custom", next to time controls.
