androidx.navigation.NavGraph cannot be cast to androidx.navigation.compose.ComposeNavigator$Destination

Question

After updating navigation compose dependency from 2.4.0-alpha03 to 2.4.0-alpha05 I've encountered this strange error after trying to navigate between composable screens (For example navigate from taskComposable to listComposable screen). Here's a part of my code.

MainActivity:

@AndroidEntryPoint
class MainActivity : ComponentActivity() {

    private lateinit var navController: NavHostController

    @ExperimentalAnimationApi
    @ExperimentalMaterialApi
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContent {
            MyComposeDemoTheme {
                navController = rememberNavController()
                SetupNavigation(
                    navController = navController
                )
            }
        }
    }

}

SetupNavigation:

@ExperimentalAnimationApi
@ExperimentalMaterialApi
@Composable
fun SetupNavigation(
    navController: NavHostController
) {
    val screen = remember(navController) { Screens(navController) }

    NavHost(
        navController = navController,
        startDestination = "list/{action}"
    ) {
        listComposable(
            navigateToTaskScreen = screen.task
        )
        taskComposable(
            navigateToListScreen = screen.list
        )
    }
}

Screens:

class Screens(navController: NavHostController) {
    val list: (Action) -> Unit = { action ->
        navController.navigate("list/${action.name}"){
            popUpTo(LIST_SCREEN) { inclusive = true }
        }
    }
    val task: (Int) -> Unit = { taskId ->
        navController.navigate("task/$taskId")
    }
}

taskComposable

fun NavGraphBuilder.taskComposable(
    navigateToListScreen: (Action) -> Unit
) {
    composable(
        route = TASK_SCREEN,
        arguments = listOf(navArgument(TASK_ID_ARGUMENT_KEY) {
            type = NavType.IntType
        })
    ) {
        TaskScreen(
            navigateToListScreen = navigateToListScreen
        )
    }
}
