Those log messages do appear to match the theory, but in the case at
hand, the server seems to have hung up without throwing any error.

However, we'd reproduce that if the apparent "message length" was
less than 1GB (assuming the server process could malloc that much
memory).  That'd occur for any second byte less than 0x40, such
as an ASCII digit.
