That is older than the fixes for bugs which look very much like this
one.  My assumption is it's more efficient to attempt to reproduce the
bug with the current feature/igc branch; if we can't, it may have been
fixed, if we can, the backtrace may be more useful.

Thank you for the report, though! It's good to know that the fixes
appear to have some of the expected effect, and it's never a waste of
time to understand even a fixed bug better.

That warning is usually very bad news, IME, because it means the source
code no longer corresponds to the binary we're using.

The xtype will indicate this is a lisp symbol, as its tag bits are 0.
It doesn't seem to be a built-in symbol, and it looks unusual because of
the unusual settings used by Nix (OS?) which put static data (lispsym,
in this case) near the beginning of the address space rather than at
around 0x555555550000.
