Research direction
Reproduce the Windows Terminal failure with Ctrl+R using the reported PowerShell and PSReadLine versions. Start with UpdateHistoryDuringInteractiveSearch, InteractiveHistorySearchLoop, CalculateWhereAndWhat, and ReallyRender from the stack trace. Done means reverse history search no longer raises an ArgumentOutOfRangeException when the console buffer is 252 by 67.
