I already gave all the analysis I could give. You may be able to create a minimal reproducer and post that. Then we can help. Sometimes creating a minimal reproducer allows you to spot the problem yourself.

FWIW it's not caused by the `any` constructor, which merely calls the clone of the object being copied. Again, my best analysis is in my first message.
