Looks like you are correct. The problem 'smells' like a memory leak
somewhere. I stepped into 'reload_cse_regs' and  watched 'reg_values' being
initialized to zero. Everything is fine after this loop. However a couple
of line later when the 'reload_obstack' gets allocated a specific entry in
'reg_values' (item 42 specifically) is non-zero.

Any ideas on where to start looking for this problem?

Yes, it is.  Look at the comment in front of the reg_values declaration.
There should only be EXPR_LISTs of values.  So the real question is,
where and why has the raw SYMBOL_REF been added?
