In case that helps, I bisected this issue and got the
following result:

d3cefd3e98354929d96c9396e5920e8a123784dc is the first bad commit                                                                                                                               commit d3cefd3e98354929d96c9396e5920e8a123784dc

    Leaner hash table dumping and thawing

    Only dump the actual data, and the test encoded as an enum.  This
    simplifies dumping, makes dump files smaller and saves space at run
    time.
    
    * src/lisp.h (hash_table_std_test_t): New enum.
    (struct Lisp_Hash_Table): Add frozen_test member, consuming no extra space.
    * src/fns.c (hashfn_user_defined): Now static.
    (hash_table_test_from_std): New.
    (hash_table_rehash): Rename to...
    (hash_table_thaw): ...this and rewrite.
    * src/pdumper.c (hash_table_contents): Only include actual data, not
    unused space.
    (hash_table_std_test): New.
    (hash_table_freeze): Set frozen_test from test.
    (dump_hash_table): Dump frozen_test, not the whole test struct.
    Don't bother other dumping fields that can be derived.
 
 src/fns.c     | 53 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------------------
 src/lisp.h    | 12 ++++++++++--
 src/pdumper.c | 63 +++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------------------

Don't know if it's really related, though.

Regards, Gregor
