I tracked down my issue to this line in my configuration:

https://github.com/gfredericks/dotfiles/blob/48c503319046517fc1767735d09fbb232ace12ba/base/.emacs.d/user/gfredericks-longrunning.el.symlink#L34

I can see how it's related, since it's adding a window-configuration-change-hook, but I can't tell at a glance what's wrong with it. It's a function that tries to save the current window configuration to a variable each time it changes.

I'm going to use the new emacs[1] for a while with this line commented out to see if there are any other issues.

The changes are on master now so please remove yours before pulling
from master the next time.

And obviously please report any findings you have ASAP.

Thank you, martin
