Throwing some ideas out there, is it possible that evolution runs with a seccomp filter or other BPF program configured to kill the process on violation, and that’s what’s happening here?

For software that regularly deals with untrusted input, it doesn’t seem unreasonable that the developers might have implemented something like that, and a seccomp kill might actually look like that.
