I've encountered the same bug. Interestingly for us the host never encountered this issue (may be due to a lack of dying lol), only other players joined over MP. Also doesn't happen every death, I'd say about every ~10 deaths or so. Having a player exit their game, restart factorio and rejoining fixes it (until it happens again). Haven't tried changing the mod settings whilst playing to see if that helps, will do that next time.
Running factorio 1.1.100, Space exploration 0.6.120 and some QOL mods but nothing major.
