I'm trying to debug window.c.  But I have no idea if that's what
‘json-read-string’ tries to read.

I've seen it yesterday for the first time.  I can't reproduce it
reliably but it can hit any time, often when next stepping with gdb.
Also I wasn't able to reproduce it on Debian so far.  Bisecting on
Windows is a pain here.
