Looks like there is a second part to the fix that should be released in core 2021.11.6, according to the GitHub page.

I finally solved it by editing the core config file used for the UI based config. You can find it in your config directory /config/.storage/core.config_entries (the .storage folder is a hidden folder).
My specific problem was the raspberry pi power sensor that i removed since I moved my install to a ODROID device. The sensor was part of the Home Kit excludes list so I just searched for it and removed the line.
I used the VSCode extension in HomeAssistant OS, used the VSCode built in terminal to open the hidden folder like this: $ code /config/.storage. This opens the hidden folder in a new window where you can open the correct file and make your edits.

Thanks a lot ! I can now configure my Homekit integration and remove all the new devices I got in between 
Thanks again !
This seemed to be resolved for me with the latest builds of 2021.11.xx but after updating to 2021.12.0 it’s broken again. Now instead of “user input malformed” i get an error message “Unknown error occurred.” This is starting to get incredibly frustrating, every time a new release of Home Assistant is pushed out this damn integration breaks.
I am also getting the Unknown error occurred message after updating to 2021.12.
Please check the logs. There isn’t much we can do to fix an unknown error without some context.

EDIT: If you don’t even modify the HomeKit settings and just hit Configure, Next, Next etc. It still says Unknown error occurred. I just deleted & re-did all my homekit config because of the previous error but now got stuck with this error 
Its crashing when trying to import the alexa_media custom component. Check if there is an update available or uninstall it.
So I resolved my issue with not being able to adjust included/excluded components for HomeKit by simply deleting and re-installing the configuration.

Made the updates today, its working again.
Is anyone else having issues again with HomeKit after the latest update? I updated last night to 2021.12.9 and when I went to go toggle on a new entity I was shocked to find it had blown away my config and none of my previously selected entities were selected anymore. I’m no longer getting the “User input malformed” error, that went away quite a while ago, but this in a way is almost as bad. I probably have between 50-60 exposed sensors, switches, etc in HomeKit so I don’t have the time to re-do everything again. Rolled back to 2021.12.8 and all is well again.
