I tried raising CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN, but it didn't change much. The malloc() code in question is from 2002, so I doubt it's a bug there. I tried rolling back from HEAD to v2020.10. Same problem.

Looking at a "it will boot" context, u-boot's
printenv does report one definition with || involved:

scan_dev_for_boot_part=part list ${devtype} ${devnum} -bootable devplist; env exists devplist || setenv devplist 1; for distro_bootpart in ${devplist}; do if fstype ${devtype} ${devnum}:${distro_bootpart} bootfstype; then run scan_dev_for_boot; fi; done; setenv devplist

So that might be the context for the parse stage associated with
the failure you gave a back-trace for.
