This is not the plugin but the built-in -fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc. With
the reduced test case, I can also reproduce it on gcc-9.2 and gcc-9.3 but
not on gcc-8.4.

So far I have not been able to reproduce it without
-fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc,
as the automated creduce tends to run off into undefined behavior unless
I tell it to ignore runs that produce the objtool warning without the
-fsanitize-coverage=trace-pc flag.
