Yes, it very much has the smell of a GC bug: rare and hard to reproduce, but
deadly when it occurs. I wouldn't be surprised if it's causing the rare and
hard-to-reproduce crashes you reported in Bug#41321. You might try installing
the patch into your copy of emacs-27 and see whether it affects Bug#41321.
