Well, but maybe your build dependencies have. Also, compat level isn't totally safe either in general (although the issue here doesn't obviously look like it).

Also, I can't reproduce the bus error when running the offending command
from the autopkgtest on a version I built on a porterbox:

(sid_armhf-dchroot)satta@abel:~/pktanon-2~git20160407.0.2bde4f2+dfsg$

Our armhf host is very powerful, it has 160 cores and 255GB RAM. Maybe that makes it enough different from the porter box. (Albeit our other extreme host (ci-worker13; amd64) process the package fine, but that has *only* 48 cores and 256GB.

I must admit that being unfamiliar with these architectures and not
really having an idea of where to start, I am tempted to just remove
armhf from the list of supported architectures and have the version with
the broken autopkgtest removed from unstable. Do you probably know
someone who might be more knowledgeable with such architecture-specific
issues?

We have porters for architecture specific support. However, I'm not totally convinced yet it's architecture specific.

Is there anything I can try out for you on our armhf host to help debug the issue? Run the command with more debug options? Grab an output file from somewhere? I could try to run the test in testing with a rebuild of the package in testing, would that help?

Paul
