Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure on Linux with MuseScore 4.6.5 using a job.json containing multiple conversions, with .wav last, and run musescore --job job.json. Trace the batch conversion path and handling of the final audio conversion. Done means the same batch completes without the basic_string::_M_construct null not valid exception.
