Vuforia crashes unity when scripts recompiled while running

Vuforia SDK Version: 9.8.8 -

Description with steps to reproduce: Windows 10, 64-bit
MSVC 2019 16.9.5
Vuforia 9.8.8
Unity 2020.3.8f1 LTS

Steps:
---

1. In a scene with Vuforia in it (see note below), press play in the Unity editor.
2. While the editor is in play mode, edit a C# "script" in VS.
3. Switch focus back to the Unity editor. It will recompile the scripts.
4. Stop playback.
5. Start playback again.

Expected Behavior:
---

No issues.

Actual Behavior:
---

Note: Not sure what setup causes this, but in my scene there is a single ReferenceImageTarget and Vuforia is set up to use WEBCAM play mode.

As soon as the scripts are recompiled (step 3), the following error appears in the console:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
Vuforia.VideoBackgroundBehaviour.OnDestroy () (at :0)

On stopping playback (step 4), nothing of interest happens. However, when restarting playback (step 5), one of two things happens (not sure what determines the difference):

About 50% of the time the game screen is replaced with a "Vuforia Initialization Error" ("INIT ERROR: Failed to initialize Vuforia Engine"). When that happens, sometimes you can try again, sometimes not, but the editor becomes generally unstable. About 50% of the time, though, Unity just crashes right away (contact me for logs, not available right now).

Vuforia Engine cannot be started before it is initialized.
Please disable Delayed Initializationin the Vuforia configuration or initialize Vuforia manually with the VuforiaRuntime-class.
