The upgrade to 5.6.3 worked fine except for the binding redirect issue with Telerik which i fixed in the web.config

Now, loading my main page I get:
A critical error has occurred.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The EventLog shows:

I'm also experiencing this same problem after an upgrade from DNN 4.9.0 to 5.6.3. Right after the upgrade, I believe the pages looked ok. I then reviewed all the installed modules and saw that the Links module (4.?) had an upgrade to 6.0.0. So I upgraded that module and then these mystery "critical errors" started occurring. But I can't swear that the Links module is the culprit, esp. since the problem pages aren't using the Links module - just the HTML module.

What is strange is that I can get it to "go away" by switching to Layout Mode, navigating to another page, navigating back to the problem page and then changing to Edit Mode. If I follow these steps but then finally choose View Mode, the problem returns.

Not all pages on my site exhibit the problem, but the ones that do can repeat the problem reliably.

I installed the DNN 5.6.3 Symbols files and reproduced the problem. The problem code appears to be "DotNetNuke.UI.Modules.ModuleHost.RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter writer) in F:\Builds\Maintenance\WorkingDirectory\Library\UI\Modules\ModuleHost.vb:line 441".

Here's the full Log entry:
