Bouncing a reinforced creature with granted icon ability causes soft lock [Fix in 4.7]

There have been some reports of tokens bounced with granted abilities causing soft lock, but here's one where tokens didn't seem to play any part.



This is the sequence of play:
1. Opponent casts Lagonna-Band Storyteller twice (1 reinforcement)
2. Opponent brings Giant's Skewer into play (via Stoneforge Mystic) to give Storyteller Trample (yellow icon)
3. I cast Harbinger of the Tides targeting Storyteller to return it to opponent's hand
4. The effect doesn't resolve, and the game soft-locks.  Nothing on the board or hand can be interacted with except the pause game menu.  LPS timer eventually starts, then ends, doing nothing.

These are also in play, but are probably not relevant to the bug.
Enemy side:
* Frog token (from Turn to Frog)
* Infernal Scarring
* Bronze Sword
* Improved Burial Rites (Kaya planeswalker support)
* Fate of Nyx (event support)
My side:
* Gaea's Revenge
* Nissa's Pilgrimage
* Castle Garenbrig
* Gingerbread Cabin
* Shadowspear
* Underworld Outbreak (event support)

    Bouncing the Storyteller would grant the Frog token with trample and some other bonuses from equipment, so it could still be a related bug? We have both a token creature with granted abilities and a creature being removed from play, even if they aren’t the same creature.

    Definitely is a reinforced creature had a freeze in roa.
