Out of bounds access. The -r option code does "array[i-1]", and i may
be
zero when the key block is empty, which should never happen but was not
properly checked. So your use case triggered "array[(unsigned int)-1]",
which hits a place in memory it definitely should not. :)

You only need one invocation.
pipeline { echo one two three }
withstdinas -n line
importas -u line line
multidefine $line { cmd key val }
echo $key $val
will print "two three".
