I have exactly the same problem. On another Azure Automation resource with the same module versions, I don't have a crash.

The new version of the Az-module broke something running on 5.1 (as AA does).
Will need to downgrade all modules having a dependency on new Az.Accounts, and also downgrade Accounts.

Thanks for reporting. This issue is duplicated with #21647 . I'll close it and please track that one. Thanks.
