Interesting. Can be related to this recent theme about problem with ghostscript: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=259223? I mean, this is Arch Linux (so a rolling release politic) so maybe this is just a bug in latest release of ghost script or libspectre.
Seems to be resolved with arch package repository update to ghostscript 9.53.3-1 (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ghostscript/). Can't reproduce error anymore. LaTeX output looks fine.
