In general, doing an add-hook with a non-symbol function isn't
supported -- it may end up adding the function more than once if it
first loads the uncompiled file, and then loads the compiled file, I
think?  (Because the lambda will have been turned into a byte-code
object.)  So it seems logical that inhibiting byte compilation also made
the problem go away.

Anyway, your patch is the right fix here, so I've pushed it to Emacs 29
now.

Seems to work for me too here.
