Does that setting disable loading the other modules, where the problem
happened?

I do have that setting in my ~/.bash_profile file on the system where
I complied 6.7, and where Perl crashed.  Does the build disable that
in some way?

I will see if I have any setting of TEXINFO_XS_PARSER on the system
where I built the pretest.
