Shortly after updating the FreeBSD port I received quite a few reports
about this. Although I wasn't able to reproduce the error myself it
appears that gentoo solved the race condition with this patch:

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/app-shells/bash/files/bash-5.1-parallel_make.patch?id=4c2ebbf4b8bc660beb98cc2d845c73375d6e4f50

It's been confirmed to have solved the issue:
