I don't think your reproducer is 100% reliable.

And bisection is great because it's very aggressive and optimal when
it comes to testing. But that also implies that if *any* of the
good/bad choices were incorrect, then the end result is pure garbage
and isn't even *close* to the right commit.

So have you actually been able to see the problem with FLATMEM, or is
this based on the bisect? Because I really think the bisect is pretty
much guaranteed to be wrong.
