Hm.  The reported symptoms might be explainable if something had caused
multiple threads to become active within the backend process --- then
it would be plausible for it to try to do proc_exit cleanup twice.
Which would explain the first two errors, though I'm not sure how that
leads to failing to disown the process latch, as the third error
suggests must have happened.  But I don't know enough about pl/sh to
know if it could cause threading activation.

This doesn't seem real promising as an explanation ...
