I believe there is.

Why would pvectype be called at all? xtype should have said
"Lisp_Symbol", not "Lisp_Vectorlike", and never gotten to pvectype at
all.
Feel free to try that, in a fresh GDB session:
p 0x439c370
xtype

Which rest? There's no message after "Cannot access memory at address
0x1ffac2a8"

Or there might not be a problematic address, because xtype is somehow
using the value of $ which it used when it encountered the initial bug
even for subsequent calls. It doesn't do that here.
