Thanks for the quick reply!

Unfortunately yes:

ansible@target:~$ uname -r
6.5.0-3-amd64
ansible@target:~$ time sudo ./reproduce.bash

bug was reproduced after 3 tries

I also tested upstream tag v6.6-rc6:

...
+ detected_version=6.6.0-rc6
+ '[' 6.6.0-rc6 '!=' 6.6.0-rc6 ']'
+ exec ssh target sudo ./reproduce.bash

For completeness, here is also the grub_set_default_version.bash script 
that I had to write to automate this (maybe these could be in debian 
wiki?):

#!/bin/bash
set -x

version="$1"

idx=$(expr $(grep "menuentry " /boot/grub/grub.cfg | sed 1d |grep -n "'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux $version'"|cut -d: -f1) - 1)
exec sudo grub-set-default "1>$idx"
