lalsim dictionary inserts fail with some conda builds
We've recently started seeing Bilby CI builds fail due to a lalsimulation issue that seems to depend strongly on the conda build number. I've managed to reproduce a failing case on my local machine (osx-arm64) in addition to the containers based on the IGWN-conda base we use in our CI.
It looks like this is specific to the lalsimulation insert functions as the generic insert works.

I'm not sure if posting here on on the conda forge feedstock is better @duncanmmacleod?
