After compiling Emacs with the following configure flags:
./configure --enable-checking='yes,glyphs'
--enable-check-lisp-object-type CFLAGS='-O0 -g3'
--without-compress-install --without-hesiod --without-pop
--with-file-notification=inotify --with-pdumper --enable-acl --with-dbus
--with-modules --without-gameuser --with-libgmp --without-gpm
--with-native-compilation --with-json --without-kerberos
--without-kerberos5 --without-lcms2 --with-xml2 --without-mailutils
--with-selinux --without-sqlite3 --with-gnutls --without-libsystemd
--with-threads --with-wide-int --with-zlib --with-sound=oss --with-x
--without-pgtk --without-ns --without-gconf --without-gsettings
--without-toolkit-scroll-bars --with-xpm --with-xft --with-cairo
--with-harfbuzz --without-libotf --without-m17n-flt --with-x-toolkit=no
--with-gif --with-jpeg --with-png --with-rsvg --with-tiff --without-webp
--with-imagemagick --with-dumping=pdumper

I got the following backtrace after waiting for deferred native-comp to
finish and executing
(let ((process-connection-type nil))
  (start-process-shell-command "1" nil "xdg-open ~/.bashrc"))
multiple times in scratch buffer:
