Thanks for sharing. I'm suspecting memory corruption related to a problem in libsmbios (used by Dell plugin). Can you please try an experiment and see if this resolves it:

1) Edit /etc/fwupd/daemon.conf
2) Change BlacklistPlugins=test to BlacklistPlugins=test;dell

That will disable the Dell plugin from loading.
Try to restart fwupd a few times and see if it works properly.
