@maxzoech: handleActiveWorkoutRecovery() is working for you on watchOS 7.3? Are you using SwiftUI?

Just filed https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/8986729. I refactored the SpeedySloth sample app to respond to handleActiveWorkoutRecovery() being called while crashing during an active workout. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!

Good news. This looks to be a simulator problem. I updated my watch to watchOS 8 and the app works as expected on real hardware!
