When crafting a framed drawer using specific Chipped blocks on Forge 40.2.0, the game will crash!

I seem to be having the same issue #151 was having, this was originally reported to me at FTBTeam/FTB-Modpack-Issues#2452. In the few tests I did, chipped:light_blue_concrete_19 was one of the blocks the craft crashed with. Chipped uses CTM (connected textures mod) for some of its blocks, which includes that 19th variant of the block.

See the following gif, where the game froze and then crashed:

This also happens in Stoneblock 3, the crash report attached was triggered by accidentally using a Cobblestone Wall (Vanilla) as a texture item--in was the first slot IIRC, before the second texture was put in the second, with the framed untextured 4x4 drawer in the third slot. Though it was a tinker's construct crafting station, it also did this in other crafting grids including the vanilla type.

Hope that helps out in the quest for some sort of workaround/patch/update (that and the render-inside thing, cant seem to update forge on sb3 so i have no idea bout that one).
