Encrypted backups not booting

Unfortunately, encrypted backups will not boot in Catalina 10.15.1 and Beta 119.5.

The backup job processes as normal however when you try to boot into it, all you get is a black screen with the white apple logo.

I ended up wiping the disk with disk utility and formatting it back to un-encrypted APFS so I can maintain a workable backup in the interim.

I would like to maintain a form of a "3 2 1 backup" strategy with offsite backups, and leaving them offsite un-encrypted is not wise. Hopefully this can get sorted out. Thanks.
