Ouch!  This seems to be macOS-specific, though.

So I guess we should do this dance around calls to maybe_quit in
regex-emacs.c:

  specpdl_ref gc_count = inhibit_garbage_collection ();
  maybe_quit ();
  unbind_to (gc_count, Qnil);

Or maybe even better, do this inside probably_quit (because who knows
how many other callers of maybe_quit could be hit by this unexpected
GC)?

Can you try this?
