I found the time to bisect

```git
6ab1976e49135c0d03b06e3cddd26dc86edff085 is the first bad commit
commit 6ab1976e49135c0d03b06e3cddd26dc86edff085 (tag: v9.2.0827)

    patch 9.2.0827: :startinsert enters Insert mode in a non-modifiable buffer

    Problem:  ":startinsert" enters Insert mode in a buffer where
              'modifiable' is off, the error only appears when a character
              is typed.  Typing "i" gives the error right away (Barrett Ruth)
    Solution: Give the error when the buffer is not modifiable, like "i"
              does.  Keep ignoring the command in a terminal window, where
              ":startinsert" is documented to be ineffective, and keep
              accepting it when 'insertmode' is set, like "i" does
              (Hirohito Higashi).

    fixes:  #20804
    closes: #20806

Yeah, no idea how to debug it either. It is the only error that is shown. Could be anything, I know.
