Applied the patch to igc (adding the call to detach_marker.) It took a
while of monkeying around, but eventually...

Bummer.

Looks like the patch puts igc on the same footing as master wrt the
required work to reproduce the problem.

As a side note, executing igc-collect removed some elements:

(nil (363 . 364) nil (354 . 363) nil (353 . 354) nil (352 . 353) nil
     (351 . 352) nil (#("
"
			0 1 (fontified t))
		      . 351)
     (#<marker (moves after insertion) at 351 in *scratch*> . 1)
     (#<marker at 364 in *scratch*> . -1)
     (#<marker at 364 in *scratch*> . -1)
     (#<marker at 364 in *scratch*> . -1)
     (#<marker at 364 in *scratch*> . -1)
     (#<marker at 364 in *scratch*> . -1)
     (#<marker at 364 in *scratch*> . -1)
     (#<marker in no buffer> . -1) (#<marker in no buffer> . -1)
     (#<marker in no buffer> . -1) nil
     (#("n" 0 1 (fontified t)) . 352)
etc.

Note that on my first copy&paste of buffer-undo-list the first sequence
of repeated elements was 8, but above it shows 6. The other repeated
sequences show a similar change.
