However, the following patch cures everything then:

txtSIAU0HiXIp.txt
Description: Text Data

This might explain why the changes in buffer size that I did
previously triggered problems: that way the buffer could get larger
than this threshold of 1024 bytes.  It would appear that as soon as
shrink_decoding_region is called via SHRINK_CONVERSION_REGION in
decode-coding-string, things start going haywire.
