Issue #25207: Can't "Talk" to companion

 
I ran into a bug this morning where when I clicked on my current companion, Dogmeat, the "Talk/Trade/Cancel/Stay" menu appeared, but the "Talk" option didn't work. My character spoke the standard line of dialogue ("Hey boy, how you doing?";) but the next menu failed to open. "Trade" and "Cancel" still worked; I didn't think to try "Stay". Exiting and reloading the exitsave failed to correct the problem.

Googling the issue, I found a claim that the problem is caused by walking away from a quest-relevant conversation, and that you can fix it by tracking down whomever you were conversing with and finishing the conversation. I can't confirm or deny that; I just reloaded an earlier save, from before the glitch hit.
