This looks very much like the issue I ran into in
c46d057f55748520e819dcd8e04bca71be9902b2 (and, in retrospect, that
commit may have just been papering over the problem).

The issue there was that pp_printf is not reentrant - if a handler for
a pp_printf format code ends up making a nested call to pp_printf, I
got behavior that looks like what you're seeing.

That said, I've been poring over the output in PR middle-end/97855 and
comparing it to the various pretty-printer usage in the tree, and I'm
not seeing anywhere where a pp_printf seems to be used when generating:
  MEM[(struct poly_int *)&save + 8B].D.6750.coeffs[0]

Is there a minimal reproducer (or a .i file?)
