\animategraphics throws error in combination with the German babel package when using quotation marks around file path

I just came across this error, which almost drove me insane because it took forever to find the source. I have an English beamer project that I copied one-to-one and am translating into German. The English version compiles fine, but when I got to translating a certain slide with an animation the working copy suddenly broke, although previous animations weren't an issue. The compiler then threw

Argument of \language@active@arg" has an extra }.

Along many other errors. I checked many things (folder names, corrupted files, potentially interfering environments and commands) before I found the cause: As it turned out, that particular animation was using quotation marks " around the target file/folder path, which for some reason causes the copilation to crash if the German babel package is loaded. I checked a few other languages, and this doesn't happen with the English, French, Italian, or Turkish version, but does with German, Spanish, or Russian.

Here is an MWE to reproduce the error:

\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage[russian]{babel}
\usepackage{animate}
\usepackage{graphicx}


\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
    \animategraphics[loop,autoplay,width=\textwidth]{10}{./animation/animation-}{0}{11}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
    \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{"./animation/animation-0"}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
    \animategraphics[loop,autoplay,width=\textwidth]{10}{"./animation/animation-"}{0}{11}
\end{frame}


\end{document}

I am using overleaf running TeX Live 2024.
