It already crashes with the libcamera tools:

libcamera-still -r -o test.jpg --shutter 1000000 --gain 1 --awbgains 1,1 --immediate --mode 640:480:10:U

leads to:

I made a bug report in libcamera bugzilla (https://bugs.libcamera.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195).

The V1 camera has a hardware issue. When using the same Pi with same cable but different V1 camera it works as expected.

Closing issue: reason was hardware fault.
