I believe I have finally found what is going on, somewhat.
Seems that calling Perl_load_module(aTHX_, flags, SV *name, SV *version, ...) should be safe, but it seems something is strange in how it's dealing with va_arg arguments.
I've found that this patch seems to get rid of that segfault on my setup (but t/filter/both_str_req_add.t still fails occasionally)

P.S. I've attached a small module that demonstrates the segv behaviour
