        I’ve responded mainly to the “build with a larger stack” part.

        If the issue at hand is frequent enough (which I gather is not
        the case), it may make sense to document the workaround in
        etc/PROBLEMS until the problem gets fixed properly.  (There’s a
        passing mention of using ‘ulimit’ to increase stack size for
        Emacs proper already, BTW.)
