That's gonna be a bit more difficult than I thought.  With ASAN,

  CFLAGS = -g -O0 -fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer

the abort does not happen when run 100 times, like so

#! /usr/bin/env zsh

for i in {1..100}; do
    ~/emacs/29/src/emacs -Q --eval '(desktop-read "~/bug-sowieso")' --eval '(kill-emacs)'
done

I'll have to let that sink in a bit, to get an idea how to preceed.
