Do you see the same symptoms described in
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=29063#17

    I have also noticed that, with toggle-debug-on-quit on, just typing C-g
    while in the normal writing buffer will always send me to the debugger on
    only one line:

    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)
      internal-timer-start-idle()

    This happens in the broken emacs only, and C-g here does nothing in the
    working emacs. Likewise, in the broken emacs, while I am highlighting text
    with C-space, C-g will 50% of the time cancel the highlight and 50% of the
    time open the above debugger on the timer start function.
