I am trying to: Configure a Cover block with background image and Heading inside a post template.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: local dev system

I expected to see: a cover image with headline.

Instead, I got: a cover image without headline and (when reloading the content template) a corrupted Cover block.

What I did to resolve:
- Disabled all other plugins (only ToolSet plugins left)
- Tried a lot of combinations (with or without overlay, dynamic vs. static image etc.).

As the steps below show, setting both (dynamic cover image and dynamic cover headline) seems to conflict and corrupt the block settings. Setting one of them separately seems to work.

What I did to reproduce:
1. insert a standard Cover block
2. set a background color in the block settings on the right
3. add a Heading block with dynamic content (Post Title)
4. open post in the frontend: All fine!
5. return to post template editor
6. edit Cover block: use a dynamic background image
7. update post in frontend: Heading is completely gone (also in Inspector)
8. return to content template editor and reload it: Cover block "contains unexpected or invalid content."

In my case, these steps always lead to corruption of the Cover block. I can then "attempt block recovery", but that partly fails - the dynamic Heading setting are gone.
