There was never any reason to think that.

The usual cause of SIGBUS is a misaligned memory access on hardware
that's picky about that.  (Intel chips aren't, so that it's often
possible for such bugs to slip through developer testing.  But your
ARM system might be.)

Unfortunately, there's about zero chance of locating the bug from
the information you've provided.  What'd be helpful is to capture
stack traces from a few of the failed processes.  See

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Generating_a_stack_trace_of_a_PostgreSQL_backend

for directions.  Please try to get traces from both the SIG7 and
SIG11 cases, as it's not very clear whether they have the same
root.
