It's something more complicated than that I think.  There are some extra
errors that get raised during the handling of the initial inciting
error, that somehow ends in inhibit-debugger being left set to t.  So
some spec/let-binding is getting snuck out of incorrectly perhaps?

It seems to be ielm specific, but I guess ielm just happens to be doing
something tricky enough to trigger the real bug which lies elsewhere.
As a workaround, you can (setq inhibit-debugger nil) after the first
failure happens.

I can't trigger the debugger-outer-match-data error in Emacs 26, but the
debugger doesn't seem to trigger from ielm at all in that version.
