I seems related.

There is one blinking timer in timer-idle-list.  But timer-event-handler
is called with a different blinking timer that is not memq in
timer-idle-list.

It seems that the implementation detail you cited leads in our case to
the revival of canceled timers although there haven't been activated
from LISP?
