After bisecting, the bug started at -

The bug stopped at -
https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8/+log/f9a47d47..a255aa83

This leaves me with
https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8/+/4dab7b5a1d6722002d47d0be2481cb65602a2451,
which resolves a for-in optimization (Turbofan) bug
<https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=647887> and already
merged to the 5.3 branch (but is not released to stable yet :().

Though, I wonder, why did it not always occur? jQuery.isPlainObject is a
very hot function (at least in the code with which I am dealing here). Is
it possible that it is not always optimized?
(Also, that weird foo.hasOwnProperty(bar) === true versus
Object.keys(foo).indexOf(bar)
=== -1 contradiction...)

Hopefully, another stable patch will be released soon, as it may affect
many jQuery versions, since that was the way to check whether an object is
a plain object until some time ago.

I apologize to everyone, as I experienced the bug when it started but
dismissed it as a temporary canary issue that would resolve itself. Stupid
me. I hope I learned my lesson (probably not, though :( - I would have
reported it if it did not require days of investigations).
