You could modify savehist-minibuffer-hook (the function) to enter the
debugger when command-history is added to the hook.  It doesn't happen
for me in Emacs 21.  (I now see that you have done this already -- I'd
be interested in your findings.)

If my understanding is correct, you refer to the CVS Emacs, which has
not yet been released so should not be used by ordinary users.  If we
install this fix, it will be that much harder to trace the underlying
problem.
