Thanks for this very interesting bug report (and reproducer).

Like Xingtao Yao mentioned, I believe the current code is correct
and shouldn't be reached.

Why is it reached? You might have uncovered a core memory bug.

Likely around access_with_adjusted_size() in system/memory.c.

I'll keep investigating, but so far it reminds me a previous
