Research direction
Reproduce the failure with BinDiff 8, IDA Pro 9.1, binexport12_ida64.dll, bindiff8_ida64.dll, and the shown ida64.exe command against the .i64 files. Compare the exported BinExport output and the parsing failure, then verify that the secondary database exports successfully and the resulting file can be parsed for diffing.
