FWIW I build 5.3 from the debian source + .dsc files and patched from testing release on that same VM and can't reproduce it, but still see it in 5.2.
Played around a bit, took the history commands out of PROMPT_COMMAND. I only get a crash after entering the invalid string "$(;"...then at some point in the future, the "history -c" builtin is triggering the crash. Tried several other builtins subsequent to the "$(;" and didn't trigger it, including "history -a".
