react-native: [Android] Native crashes in com.facebook.react.views.progressbar (React 0.24)

We recently updated our App from React 0.23 to React 0.24

Since then native crashes started to happen which seem to originate from ProgressBarAndroid. (We track those with Fabric/Crashlytics).

They never happened with React 0.23 and our usage of ProgressBarAndroid didn’t change in the new version.

Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce the crashes yet. They also seem to happen sporadically on our clients devices. The crashes happen on Android 5.x and 6.x.

There are two different stack traces, both originating from com.facebook.react.views.progressbar. The second one seems to be related to the first one.
