cmssw: HLT crashes in run 359297 from module `EcalRecHitProducer:hltEcalRecHitWithoutTPs`

Several HLT jobs crashed during run 359297, all due to module EcalRecHitProducer:hltEcalRecHitWithoutTPs. Before crashing, the following error message appears: cmsRun: /.../cmssw/el8_amd64_gcc10/cms/cmssw/CMSSW_12_4_9/src/CalibCalorimetry/EcalLaserAnalyzer/src/MEEBGeom.cc:31: static int MEEBGeom::sm(MEEBGeom::EBGlobalCoord, MEEBGeom::EBGlobalCoord): Assertion ``ieta > 0 && ieta <= 85' failed. The full log output for several such cases, including the stack trace, can be found on EOS: /eos/cms/store/user/trocino/HLT_ECAL_Debug/LogOutput/ ROOT RAW files containing all incriminated events can be found at /eos/cms/store/user/trocino/HLT_ECAL_Debug/EdmRawRoot/

Please note that the error does not seem to be reproducible on LXPLUS (probably because it runs on CPUs), while it’s reproducible on machines with GPUs, e.g. Hilton machines.

A recipe to reproduce the errors:
