Interesting, in that bug the problem was *solved* by adding --no-whole-file when using --inplace and --sparse, whereas in my case the problem is *caused* by using --no-whole-file alongside --inplace and --sparse.

The first "Bug Fix" listed in https://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/NEWS#3.2.4 is almost certainly related.  Apparently it was fixed via remote option but since your test doesn't include networking that fix wouldn't help.

I believe I have found a synchronization bug in rsync. I have a pair of files, which when synced with

rsync --no-whole-file --inplace -S

are not identical afterwards. All three options are required, if I remove any one of the the files sync correctly. I have put the two files, along with a minimal test script, in this GitHub repo: https://github.com/mark-raymond/rsync-test

This looks like a bug to me; am I missing something? If it is a bug, I'm happy to create an issue in GitHub.
