There are 673 commits here. Could you attempt a bisect, or manually reduce the search space by trying out Emacs from earlier commits? If you have a Guix checkout, just checkout a commit from, say, Oct. 20th, run ‘make’, and check whether Emacs built from that commit has the problem: guix environment --ad-hoc emacs -- emacs -Q TIA!
