Question: serious error in Maple 2024. (in property/ConvertRelation) works OK in 2023

This code used to work OK in Maple 2023.2.1 on windows 10. Now it gives this new internal Maple error 

Error, (in property/ConvertRelation) numeric exception: division by zero

I think this is new problem in Maple 2024 as I have not seen it before. Will report it to Maplesoft. Mean while if someone has any workaround other than not using the `is` command will try it.

The following are two worksheets. One using 2023 shows it works OK (no error) and one in Maple 2024 with the new error

tmp:=-1/x^2+1/2*a+(1/x+1/2*a*x)^2;
is(tmp = r)

(1/4)*a*(a*x^2+6)

-1/x^2+(1/2)*a+(1/x+(1/2)*a*x)^2

true
