bug#22012: 25.1.50; gdb broken by (json-string-format "doesn't start with `\"'!")

It just happened again while debugging xdisp.c.  The buffer is called
*partial-output-emacs.exe* (with a leading space) it contains 2295
characters and its position of point was 2.  The contents of that buffer
are hopefully in the attached file partial-output-emacs.txt (for reasons
that elude me I was not able to inline them with Thunderbird).

The contents of *backtrace* are:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (json-string-format "doesn't start with `\"'!")
  signal(json-string-format ("doesn't start with `\"'!"))
  (if (char-equal (json-peek) 34) nil (message "%s ... %s" (current-buffer) (point)) (signal 
(quote json-string-format) (list "doesn't start with `\"'!")))
