FWIW, I went to the trouble of installing Ubuntu Focal on my
raspberry pi to see if I could duplicate this, and I couldn't.
However, what you get from a fresh install now is

$ dpkg -l | grep libllvm
ii libllvm10:arm64 1:10.0.0-4ubuntu1 arm64 Modular compiler and toolchain technologies, runtime library

not 9.0.1. I also found that Fedora 31/aarch64 is still downloadable, and
that does contain LLVM 9 ... and I could not reproduce it there either.

So I've run out of things to try. It still seems like a bug in a specific
point release of LLVM is a possible explanation, especially given that
Debian went so far as to replace that release in an LTS distro. (The
gcc-related packages are all exactly the same versions as you show.)
I'd believe that data corruption could be a contributing factor too,
except that you were able to read all the rows without JIT.
