Thanks for checking. I'm still puzzled how this commit:

could be the culprit, though. The diff is just
diff --git a/object.c b/object.c
index 8a74eb85e9..16eb944e98 100644
--- a/object.c
+++ b/object.c
@@ -287,8 +287,7 @@ struct object *parse_object_with_flags(struct repository *r,
}
if ((obj && obj->type == OBJ_BLOB && repo_has_object_file(r, oid)) ||
- (!obj && repo_has_object_file(r, oid) &&
- oid_object_info(r, oid, NULL) == OBJ_BLOB)) {

if (!skip_hash && stream_object_signature(r, repl) < 0) {
error(_("hash mismatch %s"), oid_to_hex(oid));
return NULL;
So it is actually doing _less_, though what it is removing is going to
just be a pack .idx lookup (or maybe a stat() call if the object is
loose).

That sounds reasonable. I'm still not sure what's going on. It's always
possible that commit introduced a problem, but I just don't see it. So I
still have a suspicion (especially given that your symptom is a bus
error) that the problem might not be deterministic.
I wonder if building git with:
make SANITIZE=address,undefined
and running the same test might yield anything useful.
