Thanks for clarifying!  I see it there too, but not under qemu-system
(let alone actual hardware).

Indeed; we saw something similar in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=969608, though this
error is different and adjusting BLASTDB_LMDB_MAP_SIZE doesn't affect it
AFAICT.  I also tried increasing qemu-user's stack size, but that made
no difference either.  (I didn't try the combination, though.)

I'm on board with leaving it open for now but on hold until after
Trixie.
