Once I found the right conditions (wireless disabled and a specific KDE
session), it was 100% reproducible.

Reverting your commit fixed the problem. I can do another test of that
if you like.

My _bisection_ was not absolute, rock-solid certain because I only found
the right conditions half-way through. There's always the possibility I
would get different results if I redid it properly, from the start. But
I have some experience of this and took care to re-validate my upper &
lower bounds.
