This is caused by rBeb521b22b2b1. Looks like `PE_minmax` doesnt play nice with the evaluated view_layer. If we look inside `PE_get_current`, then `BKE_ptcache_ids_from_object` will actually return a list of `PTCacheID` for the evaluated object. However, looking further, then `PTCacheEdit` / `psys->pointcache->edit` is always NULL for the evaluated object. Without a valid `PTCacheEdit`, `PE_minmax` will basically do nothing. So now we are passing the non-evaluated view layer in the case of particles. Regarding to @sergey, in a longer term we should probably make it so evaluated pointcache have pointer to edit.
