Looks like some problem with memory allocation.  Could be a duplicate
of bug#29066?

Anyway, with memory allocation bugs, a tiny change in the recipe can
make the bug go away, so I don't think the evidence you collected till
now can tell us anything useful, except that this is a Heisenbug of
sorts.

Maybe someone else will have an idea for how to debug this further.
