No, 5.0.
If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,

I'll be unavailable to look into this issue further today.

Reverting the changes to Source/Core/Core/PowerPC/PowerPC.cpp fixes it. It's not actually a crash, it's the CPU thread getting stuck somehow.

Here's the culprit (which makes no sense to me at all): https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/commit/e00572dd07fc2b488805e0a28265eaaffb2a7bf2#diff-beb1004068233f1418f0514f91a2781175c93ab1268aa1d8ccd411880241c22bR597-R598

Even though removing that one line fixes the problem, the line never actually seems to execute???

Something weird is going on here. Seemingly any *_LOG_FMT message called in CheckExternalExceptions or CheckExceptions() triggers this problem, except for DEBUG_LOG_FMT since I assume #if defined(_DEBUG) == false in Log.h when building the app with [:app:assembleDebug]. And removing the string variables from the message didn't help anything.
I'll need to revisit this if I think of something else to try.

The issue happens when bcx calls WriteExceptionExit (which then calls CheckExceptions which then calls CheckExternalExceptions). Or at least it does in the case I'm testing, which is PAL Wii Play.

I give up for now. Have a hotfix: https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/9296
