[Bug]: Updating Yoast SEO makes the translated "page" slug in Polylang Pro to disappear form rewrite_rules #23243

Prerequisites

  • I've read and understood the contribution guidelines.
  • I've searched for any related issues and avoided creating a duplicate issue.

Please give us a description of what happened

When updating Yoast via auto-update or wp-cli the pagination can stop working giving a 404 error instead of the page.
In this example I'm using English, Swedish and Danish as my languages. I visited a Danish page which broke the Swedish "sida/2".

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Setup a clean environment with Yoast SEO (not the latest version since we need to update the plugin), Polylang Pro and a default theme such as "Twenty Twenty-Five"
  2. Add at least three languages in Polylang.
  3. Translate the page slug (slug_paged) under Languages > Translations into your different languages.
  4. Update Yoast SEO using wp-cli.
  5. Visit language A that isn't your default language in Polylang in the frontend (front page is sufficient).
  6. Navigate to a post archive in language B and notice that page 2 gives a 404 error (or simply observe the rewrite_rules option in the database)

Expected results

  1. The flushing of the permalinks should not interfere with Polylangs page translations.

Actual results

  1. All pages using a translated "page" slug now is showing 404 until permalinks are flushed again.

Screenshots, screen recording, code snippet
