com.apple.mediaanalysisd files filling drive in macOS 15.1

Since updating my mac Mini M1 to macOS 15.1 on 28th October, my computer has been creating a 67.9 MB file roughly every hour when the computer is not in use in the following location: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mediaanalysisd/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.mediaanalysisd/com.apple.e5rt.e5bundlecache/24B83/9CBD0F43A800584A3C4CABAFAE15CF754A6CC75117BE0645B8F09A3EF4974D11.

The files are in the following format, e.g. the latest one is BF43FD565F5326E554005345F8EE2E2C0271B9C0A9695FACB868D079B6B64D88.tmp.1443.bundle. As these are cache files, I deleted the Caches folder on 5th. November, when it had grown to 17.1 GB: since then, the newly-created Caches folder has grown to 3.16 GB. I have rebuilt the Photos library, also run Disk Utility over the drive. Note that this issue did not occur in macOS 15.0.1. Has anyone else experienced a similar issue, and possibly found a resolution? I have submitted a bug report to Apple.

Mac mini, macOS 15.1
