Sorry, "commenting" code using #if 0 is a pretty common idiom. There are
two places in parse_string_to_word_list() that have #if 0...#endif blocks.
The first one is tagged with your name. Change the #if 0 to #if 1 in both
blocks and see if that fixes the problem.

It fixes the reproducer in

and
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2020-11/msg00079.html

which is a distillation of your original example to something easily
reproducible.
