Not real sure what the cause/conflict is, but certainly didn’t have multiple days to spend trying to figure out the cause on a production environment.

This was the workaround implemented. Seems to be working fine now in the backend as far as I can tell, and at least not breaking half the javascript functionality on the page when it threw the null error.

Starting at line 987 of the non-minified version of input.js, added a simple null catch and exit.

	$(document).ready(function(){
		
		/* added this condition, since acf.o was null at certain points for some reason when in the admin backend */
		if (acf.o == null) {
			return;
		}
		
		// update post_id
		acf.screen.post_id = acf.o.post_id;
		acf.screen.nonce = acf.o.nonce;

Hope this at least helps someone else in a similar situation.
