Not sure if this will help, but have you tried creating a new fresh comp,
then importing just that PSD?

Maybe if that'll work, then you could save that project separately and then
import the project into your original project?

I've had a rare case where this would happen and the new project into the
old project actually worked for some reason.

Good luck.
