I can reproduce this.  It's sufficient to run zsh -f and enter

precmd() { source /dev/null }

at the prompt, then accept-line a second time.

I get a different backtrace with --enable-zsh-mem.

I'm not sure that's useful, as the first free() has already occurred by
then.  No code around there has changed especially recently. Possibly a
heap is getting popped while a global still has a pointer into it?
