What do these error codes mean? 273960798-40599 (998046173) or 1383988864-3995 (-1576781377)

In the past couple of days I have created 3 cloned dev sandboxes with 2 different source dev sandboxes, and all have a serious error with any Process Builder or Flow.

None of the PBs/Flows are running - doing anything which triggers automation gets an error message and fails.

Clicking on a PB or Flow in setup displays a message like this:


I wondered if I had fallen foul of the fact the source sandbox got upgraded to Summer'21 over the weekend but this help article (https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000357271&type=1&mode=1) says that cloned sandboxes get the same release version as the sandbox being cloned.

Can someone tell me what the error codes mean?
Examples:

273960798-40599 (998046173)
1383988864-3995 (-1576781377)

Has anyone else experienced this problem? How did you resolve?
