I can reproduce this on Debian 12 but only if bash is started exactly as
OP describes, with the specified contents in ~/.bashrc, not e.g. using
--rcfile /tmp/op.bashrc.

Can you see anything with valgrind? I can't reproduce it with bash-5.3 on
Debian 12.12, even when starting bash with that ~/.bashrc.
